If you're gaming I would highly advise to not go wireless.

Sorry for the late answer, but, the 5820k outperforms the 6700k on most CPU intensive applications, if not all. It also depends which water cooler you get, the NZXT Kraken X61 is one of the best, so it's very unlikely to leak. They also provide better performance than air cooling. Thought you might want a new mouse, keyboard and headset. Depends on which ones you have, though Didn't know you had a case already, my bad. I could also fit in an Acer Predator X34 if you like (monitor) if you like.

The i5 4th gen isn't shit, though?

What's wrong with these scores? They seem fine to me

Haven't tried Final Fantasy XIV online. Will look into Far Cry games and AC Syndicate

Here's my new steam accounts games: http://steamcommunity.com/id/cortexxx69/games/?tab=all I'd also get Black Desert, but it's not available in my location, so...

So, I've recently wanted to get a few games since I've been bored out by most of which I own. My cart: Rise of the Tomb Raider Pillars of Eternity (Champion Edition) Ashes of the Singularity Life is Feudal: Your Own Crusader Kings II Collection Any games you'd add or remove?
