While yes it's a pretty good OC for a 7700k it's definitely not a golden chip, one of my 7700k's will do 5.3GHz at 1.45 after a delid...

Playing ESEA for ages now too What's you ESEA name?

And you play in leagues man? Or just MM?

Trust me, they don't actually play competitively with 27" monitors though and since the OP asked what monitor to buy to get into comp play 24" is the correct recommendation...

Exactly. This thread has made me feel this way too..

It's not 27" monitors... If you play CS competitively at all you'd know it's all about consistency and switching between 24" and 27" is ANYTHING but consistent... VERY few CS pro's are using 27" monitors

Yes.. And many of them played CS prior... And it's their personal preference, which is what I was trying to say.

You realise almost no pro's play on 27" monitors right....? At least in CSGO... And there is a reason ALL the tournaments run 24" monitors...

I missed the "And play at" my bad!

Again, that tradition came from the early days of CS! And It's minimal at best

That's only the oldschool 1.6 players who play stretched or 4:3 and even then many have started to transition to 16:9 and native res.

That might be the Res you play on in-game but you shouldn't be buying a 1024x768 monitor...

27" for compet CSGO is a really bad idea...

If you want to get into competitive CSGO you NEED a 144hz monitor so I'd start there. A really good option that has stuff like black equalizer and digital vibrance built in is the BenQ xl2430T, it's an awesome option and the choice of a lot of pro players and CSGO tournaments

The Titan's wouldn't even run at all after 2 way SLI... Since SLI needs PCIE x8 minimum and Z97 Motherboards only have 16 PCIE lanes

Try a custom fan curves with afterburner. Should force them to your desired speed.

The term powerful could apply to a lot of different things in when it comes to computer hardware... For example if we're talking about rendering then there will be some much more powerful 12+ core Xeon systems owned by people on the forum.

With a price tag to match I'm guessing...

Both your RAM and his are the same speed... And as far as the CPU once you over clock both the CPU's to the same speed they are literally the exact same speed. Also what if he wanted some ASUS motherboard specific features? I do agree with the last comment if he was only gaming but since he's streaming he will see a substantial difference is snappiness and less stutter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GgDZKGA89I < more cores for streaming.

There is almost no point for him to get the 5930k over the 5820k especially while it's almost $200 more expensive, unless of course he needs the extra PCI-E lanes which with 2 980's he wont. Plus why did you change the motherboard and RAM? You didn't even answer his original question... Anyway, in regards to the OP while strictly gaming you won't be looking at that much of a performance improvement due to your 2700k still being a competent processor. You will however notice the difference of having 6 physical cores once you start to stream and multitask where most stutters you once might of had will be gone and your computer will feel generally more snappy and responsive. Hard drives should also still be bootable although it's quite common for drivers from previous components to conflict with new hardware.

Very nice looking cooler, impressed.

I've found that my HTC One M8 has been getting reception in places my previous phones (including my families iphones) never seemed to be able to...

A single 120mm rad could easily cool three 750 ti's...

Wait for the 800 series if you're desperate and if that's an option, Maxwell should be getting a MASSIVE bump in energy efficiency.

This build is MUCH more balanced then your original plans...
