I'd personally recommend a used 6850k, they are going for about $300 right now.

Thanks! That is super useful.

Do you need professional certified drivers? What is your budget?

Personally I'd switch out the X370 board with a B350 one and get a cheaper case to get maybe an R5 1400/1500x. Overall looks like a solid build though.

Yes samsung B-Die is much better for Ryzen ram speed compatibility. I forgot to mention that lol, although I am still not sure how to find out what die each kit has.

I'd say wait for coffee lake in your case. If it was a new build I'd recommend ryzen but you already have a perfectly capable machine. If you really need to you can buy a 1080ti now and wait until holiday time to buy into coffee lake, which should be a pretty good performance increase for you.

That looks like a great list so far! Personally I trust EVGA powersupplys but that really comes down to brand loyalty but seasonic and corsair also do a great job. As far as the RAM goes while tighter timings and the such do give better performance the boost you are looking for in RYZEN comes down to frequency. This is because the reason that faster RAM helps RYZEN comes down to its influence on the infinity fabric as you said. The IF (infinity fabric) will run at half the speed of the RAM you buy. ( though technically it is running at its actual speed because of DDR or double data rate etc etc). This means that for the 3000mhz kit the IF will run at 1500mhz. I think that should be fine for your build unless you are willing to put a lot of time into ram overclocking as getting speeds above 2933mhz/3000mhz on ryzen can be difficult. TLDR: Get either the EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic and 3000mhz ram you have on there should be golden! Have a great build.

It will be a good gaming machine if you put some time into it. I have a xeon X5670 and have it overclocked to 4.2 on all cores paired with a gtx 660 and it runs like a dream as a secondary machine for when people come over. Essentially you'll just need to overclock it and find a good videocard for it. Expect productivity performance around that of a 6700k as once overclocked it scores similarly in cinebench. As for gaming I'd say once overclocked it would perform around stock 4670k performance.

Yes I have a 6850k and a golden one at that. BW-E does not OC very well and requires a lot of volts to get past 4.3 typically. If you are already in the 70s on a core you should probably stick with just 4.2. Sorry your chip doesn't OC better.

I am afraid I cannot fid that one pc part picker if you could provide th link I would be more than happy to include it previous question still stands other than those two items am I all good?

Thanks! Any revisions other than those aforementioned before I lock this is as my go to list for when Black Friday comes around?

Ok noted about both the hard drive and CPU, after looking at the gigabyte board on Newegg it seems many people have had issues with the BIOS and USB3 on the board so I may want to pass on it, additionally if anyone wants to revise my skylake Part list like Morgan did to the X99 one it would make me very happy.

Would it be too ambitous to expect 4ghz on a 5820k with the cooler I have? I would really like to push the single core performance of it up to that of the 6700K considering atm I dont have many uses other than gaming, student work, and webrowsing in mind which all dont really benefit from more cores.

I have now changed both PSUs to EVGA NOVAhex 750watt fully modular 80+ Gold certified Anything else?

what PSU would you reccomend I am pretty set on a $1200 budget that is why I chose it originally (I also had a cx500m as my first PSU so I was gonna go with another) (EDIT): also would it be worth going with skylake just to be able to uprade to whatever other architecture ends up going on lga 1151?
