Hard to choose

[Planet-kuruto]

Look I want to build a new gaming computer I decided that the GPU would be a 980ti and that I would get 16gb of ddr4, i want my computer to last for long so do u think I should buy a CPU now and if yes please suggest one or I wait for Intel to release new CPUs.

I want to game at max setting minimum 2k with 60fps on games like fallout 4. Sorry for disturbing.

You would be waiting for a while, get a skylake cpu now, its pretty much new (came out a couple months ago)

I disagree.

 

Zen is announced to come out mid 2016, also, Skylake is far too pricey right now, go X99 instead

[DunePilot]

What do you currently have and what is the budget?

would please tell me how long would I wait and if I buy the skylake how long would it last

[Mohenjo]

uhm, not really....

[soljakid1995]

any mid to high end cpu will last a while, even longer if you overclock it, you'd need a high end cpu for that gpu though, maybe a decent i5 or a i7

well, AMD is planning to release a new cpu mid 2016, but like you could get an i7 2600k and it would perform the same in games as a newer cpu 

[Planet-kuruto]

I have computer that's like 10 years old I stopped using it 5 years ago and I don't have budget but I want a reasonable price if it's pricy then it should pretty good

Wait about Intel they should release one in 2016

[DunePilot]

Lol... give us an idea on price please and maybe we can better direct you.

They already released a new line of cpus, go for skylake. if you always wait, then you will be waiting forever

700 max

Well I think that skylake is going to last about 3 years and I want one that would last more

[A Guy Eating Cereal]

700 max

for CPU or everything?

[App4that]

Are looking to spend 700 on a GPU for a 10 year old computer? Not understanding this.

[Planet-kuruto]

for CPU or everything?

No just cpu

[Mohenjo]

Bruh, that doesnt make sense, if skylake will only last 3 years then the next gen will only last 3 years. Also my friend is still using a cpu from 2010 and still playing modern games

I'm going to build a new one and throw the old one , for the new one I will buy a gtx980ti and 16gb ddr4, my budget for the CPU only is 700

[DunePilot]

Right now you have Pascal coming out soon and you have DirectX12 which who knows what changes that will bring, then you have Skylake-E and Cannon Lake coming and eventually Cannon Lake-E... depending on your timelime and budget it is hard to tell you what you should do.

Really so it would last more than three years

[A Guy Eating Cereal]

No just cpu

A mid-highend cpu will last 4-5 years easily!

Ah, good. Burn it with fire.

 

I'd go X99 with that budget. Any idea of a budget for the rest for the build?

[Mohenjo]

Yea, with the attitude you have, nothing will satisfy you AT LEAST 4 years before you notice any slowdown at ALL. Even then you can OC it and will be just fine 

[DunePilot]

980TI, some kind of 6 or 8 core intel, SSD boot drive, either X99 or Skylake to go ahead and get some DDR4 to carry on to another build in a few years.
