help choosing cpu

[twistedjeremy]

Guys!! i need your help!

1. for a gaming pc, what is better? intel core i7 5820k or 5930k??

2. do you think that with overclocking should i watercool a titan x? if yes what water cooler do you reccomend?

4790k

4790k is best for gaming and get two 980's or two 970's instead of the Titan. No need for watercooling them.

For gaming you shouldn't get more than an i5 4690k because anything more than that you won't see much of an improvement.

The i7-4790K is currently the fastest chip when it comes to gaming, with the extra threads helping futureproofing further.

A Titan X will provide you the highest frame rates while also skipping all the inherent issues that multi-GPU setups have.

Can't speak for watercooling as I run high-end aircooling myself, though.

Are you overclocking? If no then complete the build then test the temps THEN deside if ur gonna watercool. If u r watercooling thence may be smart to watercool.

Might be smart to watercool then. Your choice. I would though...

If you are an experienced PC builder then watercool. If this is for some reason your first PC build then don't watercool it and risk losing all that nice hardware.

Go with i7 4790k and TitanX. Try to avoid SLIsbecause you can always upgread one GPU but if you have at the start 2gpus therefore you cant upgreade with just one more card.

Watercooling? Yes if you are experience builder and if you will overclock that bad boy. Otherwise, great air cooler would do. (Except CPU Watercool it but best is to use custom loop than AIO Watercooler)
