Build Help

Aeternalismage · October 16, 2015

Hello,

I am not sure if this is where this goes but I am toying around with a few build idea but failing at understanding if one is the way I should go for what I need. So to mesh with my learning style I think if I mention what I am looking for and planning to use the pc for and see what a few of you come up with I can align it with my thoughts and see where I stand. I am trying to build a gaming rig that serves a purpose that I think is different from what most gamers try to build. I play one game and usually one game only but I play it four times. What I mean by that is I play the same game in four separate but simultaneous instances with multiple accounts. That is right I am essentially multiboxing on one machine. The game I play is Eve Online and usually focus is on one or two of the account windows at one time with the others in the background or sitting still scouting not moving around needing to render new areas. I want to build this from scratch with newer ish tech. I was thinking something along the lines of the new z170 Skylake for its number crunching ability. I figured since I am not shoving everything I got into one window but spreading it out I would want something that could handle the multiple processes running at once. If this logic is flawed, please tell me now. For video cards, I was looking at either one or two to support two or four monitors respectively. The last time I truly built a PC the 2011 Ivy Bridge – E just came out (sadly I was too poor at the time to pick one up.). Any thoughts, sample builds, etc. would be highly appreciated and as for cost, I was trying to stay around $1,500 or less range (not counting monitors, keyboards, etc) just the tower.

Hello,

I've not looked into multi-box set up needs, but wouldn't it be possible to just build like 3 additional PCs to run the other game instances? You could probably do a really neat build with some stacked ITX cases.

But ya if you can do it with just one strong PC that'd be better I suppose.

At that budget you might as well go X99

The Motherboard is overkiill, so maybe drop that a bit and get a nicer case, but it does have some nice features.

It doesn't seem like EVE requires very strong hardware, so the multi PC set up might be better for ya depending on what you want to do.

Almost completely different from yours but mine doesn't have an i7 as thats just overkill for what your going to be using it for as the i5 is plenty fast enough while the 980ti... almost the best graphics card available let me know what you think!

If he were going to save money on components then I'd recommend getting a 4k display in the build

and a 980ti is faster, however you start to lose performance per dollar, and given his running multiple instances of the game, I don't know if having the faster memory dump on a Fury is going to help with that
