WHAT??? The 5820k beats skylake in every benchmarks except single core performance which is because skylake has a higher stock core clock.

Yeah but I feel like I wasted my money, it's overkill.

Why.. The i7-6700k and DDR4 ram with a decent mobo cost the same as the 5820k ddr4 ram and a decent mobo. It's overkill but it'll last longer then skylake. Should regret buying the Titan X more then anything.

It's amazing except for Amazon tax. Microcenter is awesome, too.

Also, do you use Cincinnati Bell? I checked your profile and that is what my internet speed should be. They only ever give me 10 down, though.

I never regret buying parts. If I didn't want it, I wouldn't buy it.

My H440. Totally not worth it considering I paid the same amount for a Phanteks Enthoo Pro (a much better case imo).

 

I'll use my head next time when considering how important looks actually are.

My motherboard. B85M DS3H from Gigabyte - had too many problems with this board.

My Nanoxia DS4 case - a few days after I bought it the Silent Base 800 came out 

Every pair of headphones. I should have just stockpiled money and bought the Sennheiser HD558s or Audio Technica AD500Xs I plan to buy soon anyways.

My 8GB RAM stick for my laptop which never uses more than 4...

My GT610 that I ended up selling for 10 dollars

My ASUS TN Panel monitor when I could've bought a used Dell Ultrasharp for $80 that would perfectly match my current secondary monitor

 

There's probably more.

My motherboard cause it doesn't support SLI

I once built a robot called a.h. it was programmed to understand art. However i decided human genetic purity and production. trouble is i accidentally bought a module called racial purity by accident and thought well it couldnt go wrong too badly. Trouble is it left its institution of learning, and ran germany for a while and killed people and eventually itelf. So wish i bought the correct module..

Shit man, you mean Hitler?

GTX 780 when the R9 390 or GTX 970 were a much better option even though they have a higher price tag and the controversial "Kepler Gimp" issue with the newer drivers.

Sugo SG11 case. Seemed great at the time but the Antec ISK600M is sooo much better in almost every way.

Big Shuriken 2 cooler. Bought for the above case. Couldn't cool ice cubes in a fridge. Later replaced with a Nitrogon NT06. But then everything moved into the Antec which supports a much larger cooler in the first place. Doh.

I've never seen Athlon benchmarks but you probably could get a used/new 970/280x/290/390 when money comes. Not sure if the CPU will become a bottleneck beyond 1080p and some titles though...
