Just wanting opinions on my planned build:

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/kqdVxr​

 

I was wondering about a few things:

Is a 390 better than a 970?

Is it possible to add a second 390 to this build?

Is the I5 6600k capable of light multitasking like skype and gaming?

Is the I5 6600k's 4 cores enough for several years?

Is it possible to overclock both my cpu and gpu with the motherboard and coolers?

 

And finally just any suggestions that don't alter the price to much

 

Thanks

390 is better at gaming, 970 is better at rendering things that use CUDA. 4 Cores is fine, though i5 are not amazing at rendering and mulitasking, you should be fine under a light workload.

0: your pcpp link is a dud

1: they're equal, the better out of the two depends on your specific case.

2: i'll need the pcpp to work for that

3: should be just fine

4: my glass orb is in cleansing, i cannot predict that right now.

5: once again, i'll need the pcpp to work fot that.

1: Yes, in the majority of situations. Get an MSI or Sapphire 390 if you can.

2: Yes.

3: Yes.

4: We can't tell the future, but it is likely that it will last you for a fair old while.

5: Yes.
