Maybe not a Computer in the normal sense, but here is my retro tech:

Joining the folding-game for COVID-19! Let's see what my old hardware can chugg

1920x1080 scaled to 200% = 3840x2160 and also the other way around when using a UHD monitor and use 200% it will look as big as FHD. So the answer is: S(H) + S(V)

Well If You want to use the components that are on the motherboard, like a soundchip, networkchip, or anything else, than it is nice to have drivers that make the OS be able to talk to the components. If there aren't any compatible drivers for the OS (most of the times old drivers for win8 e.g. work also), than You can't do anything with it. So Yes, the motherboard is basically one of the most important factors to see whether the system is compatible to win10. OT: as this Mobo seems to be very recent (LGA 2011-3) it is highly possible, that it is win10 compatible. edit: https://www.asus.com/de/Motherboards/Z10PED8_WS/HelpDesk_Download/ here it is possible to download the drivers fpr windows 10 64bit. So that seems promising

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/BpgPxr/dell-monitor-u2715h I have that one. It's not 144Hz, but it has a very good IPS panel, which can also be used for video and photo editing http://pcpartpicker.com/product/zj8Zxr/asus-monitor-90lm00u0b01370 that has a TN panel, but can handle 144Hz http://pcpartpicker.com/product/XvfmP6/asus-monitor-pg279q This has an IPS panel, 144Hz, Gsync and almost everything You can wish for, but it is expensive as **** and comments on amazon suggest, that it has horrible backlight bleeding and the quality control isn't very good also...

nod modular, for that price, it should be.

But that's how I would do it.

M.2 why not, it is faster and the newest technology with NVME. Lanes for the GPU and the M.2 SSD are probably fine, GPUs nowadays don't even max out the PCIe 3.0 16 lanes... Your PSU seemded overkill, but as noone knows how the 1080ti will draw power, 750 will surely be fine. Hope that helps P.S. Viel Spaß mit dem PC (have fun with the PC)

The only thing I'd suggest, is getting rid of the ketchup and mustard ATX Power cable, maybe with some cable extensions, or sleeved cablemod cables. And the monitor looks a little dated, but that's just a guess

I would say it depends: If the game itself utilizes the 4 cores of the 6700K and You want some power left for streaming or capturing, or whatever You might want to parallel, Yes the 2 more cores come in handy. But the 5820K really only works well for gaming if You OC it, I myself have it OC'ed to 4,3 GHz and it runs like a charm, though a bit hot when on full load, but the D15 cools it down all right. That being said, I dont stream whilst gaming, but I transcode video files quite often and when I change the task priority of said transcoding, I can play GTA V in 1440p plus encode some video files just fine.

ATX, but if You don't have the space, the ITX build seems very good also, of course it still needs a SSD

I meant the specific list of RAM modules, that are supported by that mainboard. You can look that up here: https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X99A-SLI-PLUS.html#support-mem Of course other sticks could work also, but if you really rely on it working, I'd rather check that beforehand, than having to send the modules back and get others... The highest capacity kit, that is being supported from the Dominator line is: But that is just a suggestion from my side

I would check the compatibility list of the mainboard so see which ram is supported officially. Do You even need 128GB of RAM? RAM Speed mostly doesn't change anything in real life performance anyway
