  1. I'm just worried that the overclock to the 6800k will make it age very fast considering it requires very high voltages. I'm planning to get corsair H110i for cooling, but not sure what might happen.
  2. The issue is that the 6800k won't get that close to the 5820k without at least 1.4V when overclocking. So all the IPC and process advantage goes to dust. On top of it, it costs about 60$ more.
  3. The multicore performance of the FX-9590 doesn't even match that of the 6600k, let alone the 5820k. Not to mention the increase in power consumption and no support for DDR4 on AMD platforms. Even if I was an AMD fanboy, I wouldn't buy an AMD CPU until zen is released.
  4. Thanks for the input. Feeling more confident about the 5820k. I just have one more confusion about the motherboard. I want the motherboard to have WiFi because it's convenient. I came across two pretty good ones. Asus ROG strix x99 gaming and Asus x99 pro. Prices are within 3$ for both and they both seem really similar. Can't decide which one to get.
  5. Hi, I was wondering of what CPU to choose for my new rig. I am not a gamer( I will game too, but that's just a part of what the rig will be used for, not the entirety). The rig will be used for various academic projects, mostly multi-threaded in nature. I am leaning mostly towards X99, but the high single-threaded performance and efficiency 6700k is confusing me. Also if I decide to go with X99, choosing between the 5820k and 6800k is very confusing since the 6800k overclocks pretty poorly. Hence, I am leaning towards 5820k because the 6800k is worse when you overclock both the 5820k and 6800k. The prices in my country are usually higher than usual. So here are they are for reference. 6700k: 390$ 5820k: 450$ 6800k: 510$. Please suggest me what to do.
  6. How about this. My friend has this and it looks amazing with the extremely small bezels. Dell S2240L
  7. Not so sure about that. Unlike 4k to 1080p which a 2:1 scaling, 2160p to 1440p is 1.5:1. I guess I'll go to store and pick. I'm preferring the P2415Q over the P2715Q though since I love high DPI displays and that will look like a macbook screen.
  8. Excellent build. I'll swap the 120 GB SSD for a 500 GB evo since it's way faster, and replace the 2TB HDD with a 1 TB one. Also fractal cases are not available here, so swap it with S340. Z170-A with a Z170 pro gaming(better for same price)
  9. Sorry but just came across another monitor which looks awesome, the U2515H for 400$. It's an IPS 25" panel, but it's an ultrasharp one, which means adobe RGB too. Also it looks significantly better than the two 4k ones with virtually no bezel. Not to mention I can use it without scaling on windows and 1440p games will look better on native resolution than on a 4k screen.
  10. If I was in US, I would do the same :p. Prices fluctuate massively here though. I missed a sale last week selling GTX 980 for 420$. 980 costs 600$ here BTW, so it was a huge miss. Same with the 5820k@340$. I'm waiting for GTX 1070, the X80 series usually costs 250-300$ more here than X70 series, so not holding my breath for the 1080. One last question: Is the monitor of choice good? I'm getting the P2415Q for 450$ and P2715Q for 650$. The only other 4k monitor below 1000$ I can get here is Samsung U28E590D for 700$, but that's a TN panel.
  11. Just ok? Yeah, I know the 5820k is more powerful than 6700k in multithreaded workloads. But apart from video encoding(for exporting and ray tracing I can use CUDA or OpenCL), I can't see that being that much useful. Also, since I'll build in July or August, will broadwell-E be out by then? So is it worth waiting?
  12. I was thinking of this: 5820k -> costs 380$ here. MSI x99A sli plus -> 370$ R9 390 -> 410$ NZXT S340 -> 89$ Corsair RM750x -> 125$ 850 evo 500GB -> 150$. WD 1TB 7200 RPM (EZEX) -> 55$ NZxt kraken X61 -> 150$ (costs the same as H100i here) corsair 4x4GB 2400 Mhz vengeance -> 112$ Total = 1841$ + 500$ for monitor I can shave around 200$ if I go for Z170 + 6700k. Can't decide between X99 and Z170 honestly since the 6700k has a monstrous single threaded performance and can go to over 4.8 GHz.
  13. My budget is 2500$, but things are expensive here compared to US. You can make a build for 1700-1800$ and that will cost 2500$ here.
  14. I'm sorry, but that build will cost well over 3500$ in India. As I mentioned in the first few lines of OP, things are expensive here. If the prices were as low as US, I would not have bothered to post this here, since I can put every high end component and enjoy. I don't plan to game at 4k, so a 390 is good enough since it works fine for 1440p.
  15. As I mentioned, the prices are usually 30% higher here. 5960x -> 1340$ H100i -> 150$ X99A -> 375$ hyperX fury 2x8 GB -> 90$. Though I would prefer a 4x4 config for quad channel. 850 EVO 256GB -> 117$ WD blue 1TB -> 55$ MSI 980 TI -> 855$ S340 -> 89$ EVGA PSU are not available here. So I would replace this with corsair RM750x -> 125$ Your build will cost me 3200$ for the CPU alone. Add 500$ for the monitor and I'm sitting at 3700$. Way over my budget!
  16. Hi, this is my first post on the forums since I want to build my first, well build. 1. Budget & Location I live in India, where everything costs at least 20-30% more than US. Budget is around 2500 USD, or about 165k INR. Though this is for the CPU as well as as the monitor. 2. Aim Pretty much everything. I have to use it as a gaming machine running high-end games. I also tend to work with 4k videos and photo editing. Also to be used in 3D modelling and CAD work along with maya and blender. It needs to have powerful CPU as well as GPU along with at least 16GB of RAM. PS: Games are at a lower priority than other work, so not planning for an SLI build or 144Hz monitor. 3. Monitors One 4K monitor. Planning to buy either Dell P2415Q or P2715Q. 4. Peripherals No. And since I'm a student, I'll get windows 10 education for free, so no concern 5. Why are you upgrading? For everything listed in aim. I don't have a system except my old trusty Y510p laptop. Editing photos is a pain on 1080p panel. I would like a X99 or Z170 based platform since they have much better upgrade path compared to Z97. Also since I'm building it around July, I can wait till Nvidia announces Pascal or Intel announces Broadwell-E. Any suggestions.
