Hey everyone!

 

So, my pc broke yesterday... i7 3770 got fried so I thought it was time for an upgrade.

I browsed around a bit for the best cpu mobo and ram etc. for my requirements and I came up with this:

pc partpicker list

 

note:

- I already have one of the 970's, no 980 or 980Ti for the momet ;-)

- I'll be getting a H440 new editions, not the standard one.

- I might add my existing hard drive as well (another 2tb wd black) but I'm not suree about that.

 

This system will mostly be used for video editing and gaming, I'll also be doing some game designing but that's just a fun hobby in unreal engine ;-)

If you have any recommendations for this system, please let me know in the comments (I'm just about at the max budget so nothing over the top please)

 

Thank you for reading!

-Gijs

 

PS: I'll be posting some pics of the system when it's complete, I'm also uploading to youtube but I don't want to advertise here ;-)

If you can't get the 5960X, just get a 5820K. The difference in performance with the 5820K vs. 5930K doesn't justify the extra money.
