Replacement build with curiosities

[Flaggin]

Hey folks.

 

So i'm currently running a 6700k/gtx 1080(non-ti) setup. I'm actually happy with the GTX1080 oddly as what I play hits the CPU way harder.

 

I have a build here:
 

 

 

I'm looking for something high end with a little bit of RGB vomit.

 

Now what i'm keeping from my old build would be my noctua NH-D15 (I'm sure it might become an eyesore in the theme so may respray it) & the GTX1080.

 

The reason for 9900k is simply as I enjoy using a one PC streaming setup but I prioritise having more frames in-game than focusing on the stream, as stream-wise it would be fine regardless, especially with the game I play specifically which favours intel much more.

 

So you haven't asked us a question yet ಠ_ಠ

 

Ok, ok, in terms of questions, how insane am I for considering this build alongside my kept parts? The case is actually the thing that's annoying me the most, as i'm still tempted to just kick the RGB out and go with something like the meshify C, for a smaller case size....However that RGB keeps tempting me back in with the H500M.

 

Bonus question, would the Noctua NH-D15 struggle cooling this thing?

 

What's the (Rumour ofcourse) timeframe for the next generation intel processors?

The D15 wouldn't struggle, but I'd not OC it.

Ice Lake likely arrives in the second half of this year, but it's probably going to be 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Also, you can install RGB fans on cases. Get the Meshify C and install LL120s or ML120s on there

Ah, I was somewhat hoping to try OC it to around 4.8/4.9 with the noctua, as above that I don't think the thermal increase is worth the gain honestly.

 

Hmmm i'm quite interested in intel's 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ however it's just about timing, i'd rather wait a few months rather than get top end now and have it outdated so soon, so may wait till around summer when the rumour mill starts going haywire.

 

Owh, I think it's time to  start searching for some meshify C cases with RGB installs for curiousity sake.
