3 gtx 980s (or even one) are a pure and simple waste of money for ANY task :) It lierally does NOT make any sense at all to buy any amount of 980s. You may not know that the 5820k doesn't have enough pcie lanes to support 3-way sli btw.

 

Be more specific with your needs. Exactly, which programs are you going to use for video editing? Do they rely on CUDA or do they support openCL as well? Will you be gaming wit this too? If so, at which resolution?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

LOL.  Seems like mere crap to me. Also, why do you have to compromise the speed of the ram for color? Makes absolutely no sense at all.

You may not know that the 5820k doesn't have enough pcie lanes to support 3-way sli btw.

 

 

it doesn't? it won't run in (3)x8? errr

If so, at which resolution 3 was a typo meant to put 2, we use alot of different software for video editing game development and a bunch of other things, we are looking for overkill due to constant changing of software

It's still a very bad idea. Get 2 970s, save your money, you won't notice the difference and in 3-4 years when you ACTUALLY need more power with the money you saved you'll be able to upgrade.

company expense, plus I've already got 2 980s for nothing due to a mate going overseas on holiday then getting a job over there and moving there, so if we're going off price, free wins every time

Oh well, in that case it's different. If you do a lot of heavy rendering consider getting a Xeon E5-2630 V3 instead of the core i7, it has 2 more cores, more cache and could actually accomodate a third 980 if you really want it. Goes for about 650$, the downside being a lower clock speed but with 2 or 3 980s even gaming performance wouldn't be affected by that... as for the motherboard, personally I would go with the X99-E WS if you don't mind the extra price, it's probably one of the 2 or 3 best motherboards on the market. It even supports up to 128gb of ram if in the future you'll feel that you need more than 64. Otherwise the X99-deluxe gets my vote between the two you mentioned since it supports sata express and is overall better rounded (the asrock mobo is focused more on overclocking).

Thanks, hadn't even considered a X99-E WA (kinda forgot about them tbh) and as for the cpu I'll look into price and see if the little bit of difference is better. don't really need 3 GTX 980s but could be worth looking into anyway
