  1. ^ what DnFf91 said. Laptops use a ton of "unsupported" hardware. So your GPU either wouldn't work or would just refuse to let the PC boot up in OSX. wifi card would have to be replaced. RGB backlighting would be broken in OSX. If you really want OSX I recommend using a VM https://techsviewer.com/how-to-install-mac-os-x-el-capitan-on-vmware-on-pc/ Here is a link to an article about it.
  2. @luclfer_gamer You can use a VM to run OSX. If you want to use OSX alone without then there would be problems with using the GPU and Wifi card.
  3. A 6600k could match that 4.5 Ghz OC and then everything is back to the way it was. VERY few games use more than 3/4 cores. We can all agree on that. I'm not saying that pairing a 6600k with a 1070 SLI is the best idea. But to state that putting anything other than an i7 in a build at this price point isn't acceptable is ludicrous. The 6600k and 1070 SLI would probably be a bottleneck at 1080p 144hz but you'll see minimal losses compared to an i7 anyway at that res. 4k or 1440p 144hz would be a great spot to use a 6600k with 1070 SLI or a single 1080. (Ok. as good an idea as ever with SLI being what it is)
  4. @nerdslayer1There is a big difference between bottlenecking a GPU in the sense that you lose a few frames. And bottlenecking a GPU in the sense that the game can't run well / the experience is ruined. Please stop confusing the two. also. Hate to burst your bubble but you do know that your CPU would "bottleneck" a GPU more than an i5 6600K in almost every game? The 5820k is about 15% weaker in single threaded and quad core utilization.
  5. @deXxterlab97 OP sounded like they didn't have one. And spending 1500$ on a PC and using a 22" 1080p 60hz monitor with it doesn't seem like the best balance. That's why i dropped the 1080 to a 1070.
  6. Then it's a good thing I didn't recommend SLI 1070s or a 1080 isn't it?
  7. Yes. In the future more threads may be utilized. Not currently though. And not enough to render an i5 somehow bad for gaming. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hwvzHN Just going to repost this real quick.
  8. "want to save money" Drop the i7. It's not needed.
  9. also. The reason i didnt include SLI was to include a monitor that would utilize the power of the 1070 and still be able to be used for many years to come. hence 1080p at 144hz
  10. thank you @Djole123. There is no reason to waste money in this build by getting an i7. I5s especially the 6600k or 7600k are more than enough for games.
  11. thats not the rule of thumb. In this case an i7 will be spending more money on marginal performance gains that aren't worth the money.
  12. @nerdslayer1 Please stop with that. There is no reason this build needs an i7.
  13. @Thecoslime Here is a more balanced build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hwvzHN. Includes more storage, a monitor, quality PSU, good motherboard, and a 1070 will continue to push games very well at 1080p for a few years at least.
  14. @Thecoslime Ok. Then putting more emphasis on balancing the build would be a good idea. Let me make a parts list that should be better
