New Build for Bedroom

RedSphyxis · February 14, 2015

So I already have a beast of a setup as shown in my sig. But that setup is unfortunately in another room due to the fact that my bedroom has a lot of stuff in it and practically my desk cant handle three monitor setups. So i finally saved up some money through my resourcefulness and Fortunately my dream monitor the ROG swift is now currently available here in PH. So I would't have the problem of ordering on neighboring countries to get parts like my 5960x which i had to order from japan. This rig is for Gaming only and probably Some light video editing hence the 5930k but maybe I should go for a 4790k. the only thing set in stone here is the 850 pro and the 860i. Also should I wait for the 300 series from amd? and get an awesome freesync monitor?

You shouldn't really need to go 5th Gen. Just get a good overclock on a 4790K and be done?

I don't know if you should wait for 300 series or not.

First of all. GOD DAMM ARE YOU RICH

I would wait for 300 series before deciding

Rodneyg87 · February 14, 2015

If just for gaming and light editing save yourself around $1000 and go with a i7-4790k

C0LL0SS0S · February 14, 2015

Since you are rich as fuck you could also donate me some money

But the 4790k would be plenty enough, highly doubt that you need those 980 sli ^^

not really, i have really good source of income. I sort of accept outsourced jobs from a few dev companies here. plus the rampage V was a gift so it also forced me to buy a 5th gen

yeah i really should go for the 4790k.

true. I already have a machine for my rendering and dev needs.

Hell come to think of it rather than going SLI 980s why not spend a little more than a single 980 and get a R9 295x2 or CF R9 290x's

Wait for 3xx cards op.

Sorry, rule of thumb don't trust strangers . But the 980's in sli is a good choice to max out the rog swift. I can also wait for the Titan II or whatever it's called. Since I need the benefits and I can just swap those into my main rig and the two 980's into this one.

Yeah, I doubt that the Titan II will be any mind blowing.

If you don't trust strangers why are you asking them for help on a build JK

well i trust you guys enough when we're behind the screen. Personally not really, we're just technically netizens helping each other out

go with a 5920k becuse the only 2 places where a 5930k is better is that it has a little higher clock (but easy to overclock so it is the same) and it has more pci lanes but the x99 delux has a plx chip that handle pci lanes so the 5920k is just as good in that bord with overclock
