Hey everybody,

 

I'm planning to build a new pc soon an I hoped you guys could give their opinion?

 

So this is the hardware I have in mind:

 

CASE: corsair obsidian 750d

 

MOTHERBOARD: MSI x99 sli plus

 

PROCESSOR: intel i7-5820k

 

PROCESSOR COOLING: corsair hydro series H110

 

MEMORY: corsair vengeance lpx 16gb ddr4-2666 quad kit

 

POWER SUPPLY: corsair rm1000

 

SSD: samsung 840 evo 500gb

 

VIDEO CARD: gigabyte gtx 970 n970g1 gaming-4gd

 

OPERATING SYSTEM: windows 8.1 pro

 

I also have some harddrives from my old pc that i will use, and a soundcard.

 

I live in Belgium and this pc will cost me around 2000 euro.

 

Thanks!

yeah sure!

okay so what theme are you going for color wise and i would recommend buying extra fans as the front airflow isn't that great but if you remove one of the bottom hardrive bays you can mount a 120mm fan there to blow cool air on your gpu also are you fine with noise or want it to be silent

Stay with Z97 and get an i7 4790k.

Then with the money your save on the motherboard, ram, and CPU get a 980 instead.

 

You will get a lot more performance while gaming, but editing is still going to be almost as fast as the 5820k.

what's wrong with x99? :D

 

Unless rendering is your daily job, or you make money from it, x99 is a waste of money.

A 4790k can render videos perfectly fine. A 4790k also performs better than the 5820k in everything but multithreaded tasks, where it is just a little behind.

With the money you save by not going with overpriced x99, you can afford a 980 which will greatly improve your gaming experience.

 

Would you rather get 20fps more in games, faster programs, and better computer experience? Or have 5 minutes shorter rendering?

 

x99 is is not worth the money unless you're getting a 5930k or 5960x for a daily job of video editing or 3d rendering.
