Alright so, I'm planing to build a new PC on the beginning of next year, and I'm here to ask you guys about it

 

so I'm still deciding if I should go X99 or Z170 

 

Money isn't an issue here

 

I will be gaming, streaming, video editing and probably come college work with it when I get to college.

 

I live in the UAE so not all the parts are available

 

current PC specs are in the desk, what I'll salvage from it is the SSD, HDD Graphics card and maybe go 2-way or 3-way SLI im not sure the case as well

 

so yeah

Depends, with your current monitor... A single 970 is plenty.

 

If you are going to do 1080p 144hz, 1440p 60hz, or 4k 45fps... then 2x 970s.

 

2x 980 tis if you are doing anything above those. 1440p 144hz or 4k 60hz

Do you want 4k 45fps gaming or 4k 60fps gaming?

 

4k 45fps = 2x 970s

 

4k 60fps = 2x 980 tis
