Putting together my first computer!

[jetstarkiller]

Here we go! After asking some advice for my first build, following some, and not following some others. I got everything and I am going to build it this weekend.

I love the corsair keyboard!

why not 980 ti? 

[Mohenjo]

who here suggested this man get a titan? im gonna kill you, you fuck.

[Morgan MLGman]

why not 980 ti? 

Why not 5820k?

[LtStaffel]

Once you build it, can we trade? I've got my A10 6790k, and a nice GTX 750ti!

[Aytex]

Why not 5820k?

meh, thats debateable dou ;p

if OP is rendering of course

[Morgan MLGman]

why not 980 ti? 

Why an 850W Corsair Platinum PSU for 170$? WTF You can get two, just as good ones for that money

let us stop so OP dosen't starting doubting why he bought this parts and let him have the joy of building his first PC

[Morgan MLGman]

No, even if he's only gaming, considering that there's basically no price difference right now cause the 6700k is actually a bit more than the 5820k, it's still not worth to get the Skylake one, 4 threads more for no price difference, and around 20% single core speed less, but 30% multi core speed more (5820k after OC is equal to 4790k in terms of single-cored performance, so it's more than enough for any kind of task) but I'm pretty sure he's doing something heavy if he's got a goddamn Titan X ^^ 5820k is like a 4790k + an i3 in one CPU in terms of raw power, it's obviously faster than the 6700k and nothing requires that high single-cored performance, while there are things that work significantly better with more threads and more power Not to mention the cool stuff like quad-channel RAM and a higher-end platform (which X99 is compared to the Z170)

A titan X is because why not? I plan playing 4k and the Vram of the 980ti is already starting to show its limit in some cases (few I give you that). And plus why not if I can. 

For the i7 I was debating for a long time... and decided to go with the 6700k since I got a better deal.

[Mohenjo]

Fuck it, may not be the most practical but it damn sure is powerful

Haha thank you for sort of taking my side. I know the choice of the Titan can be questioned. For the power supply I plan on getting another titan by next summer and I payed $130 for it in a local store

Dual Fury X beat dual 980Ti's in 4K, so you probably should have gone with that if you wanted 4K. For that resolution the VRAM of 980Ti is not an issue, its power is, it's too weak to maintain 60FPS @4K with ultra settings, so is a single Titan X

Yep, it's not like your build is bad or anything, it's just... You could have more for less, that's our main point ^^

[MADCATZ]

Enjoy OP! Gonna be an amazing build

I understand that. And I definitely know that I probably did not make the best computer for the money but I think it is going to be an amazing machine especially once I get the second titan.

I liked the fury X since it is small and watercooled but don't you think that 4gb is going to create problem soon?

Once you get the second Titan you're going to pretty much have the 4K thing covered

Thanks!

It's HBM, not GDDR5, it kinda works different. And the Fury X beating 980Ti with 6GB of VRAM in every single 4K game benchmark proves it

I didn't know for the ram. Learning new thing everyday.

Yes! Get back to me in 10 years when it isn't good anymore and I'll take it off your hands
