Use PCPartPicker.com

Tons of AAA games do not use more then 4 cores and the ones that do, do not do it very well. Also, at higher resolutions CPUs become less dependant, for example, a FX8350 would not bottleneck a 980Ti at 2160p. Also, what is the exact budget? Games, do not need more then 8GBa of RAM, however, I suggest atleast 16GBs since you can afford it and games are starting to use more then 8 ect ect.

Don't fucking throw the most expensive parts you can in there. You're only gaming you only need 4 cores. Not 8.

3x 3440x1440, Go for 3-Way 980Ti since he can obviously afford it.. Unless he decides 4k but ultrawide at 3440x1440 would be pretty cool.

Hi guys I am a friend of rookie here, he has decided to make an uber pc for the sake of it. all that he wants is maximum performance but, he has no experience with watercooling or modding of any sort so could we see what you can come up with? anyone out there with the monitor setups he has detailed?

You know sometimes we forget to appreciate how lucky we are to be alive...
