Building a new PC, need help with my dilemma

[pavelUK]

Hello everyone!

 

So I will be building a new PC (been playing on PlayStation for quite a while, screw that I am coming home).

I will be building it around March, becuase I really want to take my time, I love this planning part!

 

This is my 'default setup' http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/sv7HrH 

 

So the question is;

 

i7-4790K

ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO

Corsair 16GB 1866-2400 DDR3 RAM

EVGA Nvidia GTX 980 (future two-way SLI upgrade)

 

OR

 

i7-5820K

MSI 99S MPOWER ATX LGA2011-3

Corsair 16GB 2400 DDR4 RAM

EVGA Nvidia GTX 980 (future two-way SLI upgrade)

 

Future plans: as mentioned, I will get another GTX 980 and run them in two way SLI mode, in voth cases AND I will get a 4k display later next year and start playing dem games in 4k (I will also get the other GTX 980)

 

So I know that the first option is more than enough for gaming right now, but with the second being the next evolutionary step, with ddr4 and the entry level 6-core, I will have to upgrade sooner or later.

 

Also, if you have anything to say about separate parts, I will be happy to hear it!

 

Thank you guys

Please wait till February before deciding specs for your PC you plan to buy in March... it is much too soon as prices may rise/ drop or newer better hardware maybe released.

the I7 5820k one

Should state what it's being used for. If just for gaming, the bottom one is probably a bit overkill, although since it's a fair price maybe not.

 

As for the top one, i say go with 1600 or 1866 ram, cause there really isnt a big difference in it really.

Wow Linus wasn't kidding, this is a great forum! ))

 

Well I will use it 99% gaming, 1% working

 

Exactly! The i7-5820k is about 50GBP more expensive, so I might as well just get it.

I don't think it's an overkill for gaming... I mean BF4 is the only one benefiting from more cores and faster RAM, but with those crazy games like The Witcher 3 in 2015 that is going to change! And with time, games will start taking advantage of them. Recommended specs for pretty much all AAA games state 'quad-core'. 

 

What do you guys think about the rest?

I am a bit unsure about the case, Cosmos SE didn't exactly get best reviews, but I just LOVE IT! Looks so killer!
