Will be very good for 1080p gaming. I use the same GPU on an ultrawide 3440x1440 and still can run most games on ultra.

 

Storage: slap an SSD in there alongside the Caviar Blue. Or upgrade to it later on, an SSD will speed up loading times by a lot!

 

OS: 8.1 yeah it's fine, 10 is the way to go though, might as well start with it. The choice is yours.

Id say quite unbalanced parts, in other words bad value

cost of CPU = mobo ? 6cores arent great for demanding games

this looks like a really nice system. Like @ItsTheDuckAgain said, i would add an ssd, at least a small one for a boot drive. I also hated windows 8, it may be personal perspective, but windows 7 or 10 are way better than 8

Good system build but I would get an ssd too. It is much better for booting your OS and software.

Main PC

I have no professionalism if you call 1 year with 3d modelling and unity "professional."

I asked my friend "So how many things do you have rgb so far?" He responded, "The only things that I have RGB is my GPU, CPU cooler, Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad, Laptop, Ram, Motherboard, SSD, case fans, PSU, cheapo-RGB leds, razer phone 2 and "

I'm not sure why you say this..? most games utilize only 4 cores, but some AAA titles will use more than 4. I have an 8 core AMD system, and i definitely think 6 cores is plenty for gaming. Especially since intel has faster single core speeds than amd processors. It's a different conversation if you want to do more than just gaming for sure

saw a video some time ago, really forgot which one(hardware unbox?), comparing 9600k to r5 2600 and others, while 9600k has slightly un noticeable avg fps, 9600 has much more serious fps drop at 1% & 0.1%and other multi threads were stable all the time

yeah that makes sense. I think intel stopped hyperthreading on cpus below the i9 on 9th gen, though i may be wrong. I still figured the 9600k would be good for gaming, but OP may be better off with an 8700k

i will however recommend waiting untill after CES (the 8th to be specific) before you pull any triggers.

 

new hardware is likely to be announched/teased. we will get more info on these products. it would be problematic to pull the trigger now and have buyers remorce later

I’m looking into a Intel system at the moment. I had a bad experience with AMD before so I’m staying away. Never have a problem with intel.

 

Also, I have found Seagate drives heavily unreliable

Atm AMD is your best bet, also, if you havent been ibto tech for the past 2 years, AMD has done a real comeback. At your pricepoint they are the best option.

 

Seagate make pretty good HHDs. And like other hardware failure, its more about being unlucky. (Especially when it comes to stuf like harddrives and monitors these days)

 

 

Edit: i will recommend to waut after CES however, new products are rumoured to be teased/announched during the event
