  1. So I can have both cards running with x16 and the SSD with x8, rather than x8 on everything?
  2. Edited original post in regards to points 1 and 5, I already had the cooler laying around from an old build, and I got $300 off the PSU so I figured it's more than I need, but it gives me plenty of head room for upgrades.
  3. Hi all, Finally got around to ordering my PC, and I need a name for it! My mates suggested "The Compensator", but Linus already took that name for his beast. Figured I'd do a build log while I'm here, too. With any luck, everything should arrive sometime this week, so I'll start uploading photos then. PARTS: CPU: Intel Core i7 5930K GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980Ti G1 Gaming 6GB MOBO: ASUS X99-Deluxe/U3.1 RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX4M4A2666C15 4x4 16GB SSD: Intel 750 Series PCI-E 400GB PSU: Corsair AX1200i Digital ATX CASE: CoolerMaster Cosmos II (yes, I'm one of THOSE people) Temporary Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX (swapping to a full water-cooling system in the after-Christmas sales) If anyone's interested, I'm using a Corsair M65 RGB and Corsair K95 RGB too. -Edit- I should probably mention this is going to get an overhaul soon, with a twin GPU in SLI, and double the RAM. I bought a lot of the components from a computer store in Aus that was closing down - got the RAM for $100AUD, etc.
  4. I should have probably mentioned I'll be getting an Intel 750 400GB SSD with this rig, that should still be feasible with the 1151? It seems like people are leaning towards the 1151 for less cost, etc, but it sounds like the average lifespan of the 2011v3 is far greater? As I'm aiming to have this rig last for a longer period of time (happy to pay the extra for the X99), it sounds like 2011v3 may be the way to go, even though it costs far more (in Australia, anyway). I've only built with 1150, 1155 and 2011, and the new boards are out of my experience range, so thanks for all your thoughts On a side note regarding the suggestion of MSI motherboards - myself and a few of my tech colleagues building PCs on commission have had quite a lot of issues with MSI gear, and never any issues with Gigabyte or ASUS. Not saying it's a bad brand, just personal experience has put me off their gear.
  5. Hi all, I'm planning a new PC build, and I can't decide between the 1151 ASUS Z170-Deluxe (w/ Intel Core i7 6700K) or the 2011v3 ASUS X99-Deluxe (w/ Intel Core i7 5820K). Does anyone know the main pros and cons between the two, or which is the better setup for graphics design, gaming and the occasional bit of programming? I'm looking at having this build for as long as possible. If it helps, I'll be running 16GB of 2666 DDR4 Dominator Platinum, and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming 6GB. Cheers.
