your psu was smoking? should have grounded him and sent him to bed.

not at all, it will run fine.

correction "headphones"

why did you buy a 6800k to not buy a good cooler? makes no sense mate.

8 Megabit is 1 Megabyte, so if you have 12 Megabits you should see a speed of around 1.5 MB/s

there are 8 Bits in 1 Byte.
 
 

whatever you do DO NOT get that gigabyte one, i had it and it has severe intel chipset issues which cause it to give you latency spikes.

lol why are people even trying to stick ryzen in here? we all know ryzen has garbage ipc compared to kaby lake. 7700K at 4.8-5GHz completely annihilates the entire Ryzen 7 at 3.9-4.1GHz lineup at 144hz gaming. 

amen.

considering he only games 7700k is a no brainer.

not being offensive to anyone but if you recommend an i5 you need to reevaluate your life, its either a ryzen 1600 or a 7700k, 7700k being better for gaming. 

Not true, the i7 is much better than the i5 in games. Newer games can use 8 threads.
 
OP- Since you don't like Ryzen, get the 7700K. Don't get the 7600K, especially if you care about "futureproofing"

thats not the point, a ryzen 1600 is cheaper than any i5 and is much better. i5s are now pegged at 100% usage in a lot of games.

I wouldn't take advice from anyone who pairs a 1080Ti with an i5. Even a 7700K or 6950X bottlenecks the crap out of it.
clearly you don't know the meaning of that word.
"less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age"
meaning you are thinking in terms of old, outdated philosophies... such as that 4c/4t is all you need for games. Wake up.

yup, 7700k is awesome, its the best gaming CPU on the market currently, just don't get an i5. 

3770k is still a very good cpu, if you can get a fair price for it, do the upgrade.

you seriously dont know much about current gen cpus, you have a 4690k with a 1080ti, nice bottleneck i see, hows your fps on bf1? highly bottlenecked due to 100% cpu usage.

problem is the 6gb version is pretty much out of stock everywhere you look. a used 980 should only set him back around £200 and it has that 1gb more vram.

did you check places like gumtree, ebay, shpock? there was one on gumtree for £300.
