The 4790K build looks more complete than the 6700K.

 

Given the price of the 6700K, I would just go with the 4790K.

1st one if you want a upgrade path or 2nd option for better value

[HKZeroFive]

You can definitely fit two 980Tis within that budget:

here are the two pcpartpicker list's, i cant decide which one to build

What are you using it for do you already own 4k displays?

[mrtippmann]

i have a 27inch monitor, i plan on getting a 144hz monitor after i build this 

[pcman365]

i have a 27inch monitor, i plan on getting a 144hz monitor after i build this 

is it for gaming or video editing and gaming

[Molten]

the second one doesn't have a price for the mobo or power supply......

[Elapo]

What are you using it for do you already own 4k displays?

There's no such thing as "overkill".

If OP wants a 2k$ system to play 1080p games, then let him have it!

I mean, that's the same like buying an iPhone to use facebook and instagram, everyone does it and noone complains.$

You can definitely fit two 980Tis within that budget:

This one's good, but is there really any point in going for a 6600k, rather than a 4790k/4560k?

[HKZeroFive]

Is there? Hyperthreading has no impact in most games and you'll see very little difference between the two in gaming. I don't want to break OP's budget either.

No.

[mrtippmann]

its 1080p and i dont plan on getting a 4k monitor

Not yet, no. Games like GTA V do like HT though. Still, you could also go for a 4690k, which will probably end up cheaper with DDR3 and a Z97 MOBO. The difference is negligible.

I also totally fucked up with "4560k". Ups.

No.

You're really helping OP. Way to go (y)

[Streetguru]

its 1080p and i dont plan on getting a 4k monitor

Then there's absolutely no reason to have a 980ti, and in addition the skylake i7s are highly overpriced right now, best bang for yet buck is a Xeon 1231v3, also might be better off in this case with an unlocked i5 or Skylake locked i5 cost is probably going to end up the same, but you can overclock either

And in addition this build includes a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync display

well i want a pc that will last a while before needing to upgrade, also is it worth having ddr4 ram does it make much of a difference 

[Bazilias]

If you're only going to play games than pick a build with only an i5. If you're going to do grahpical designs and video editing/rendering then pick a i7.

[Streetguru]

DDR4 makes no difference for a gaming PC, or really anyone in general, it only really matters for APUs, Mobile Devices, and Servers for more RAM per Stick

Skylake only has a 5% higher IPC, so the performance difference over haswell is basically nothing worth noting, kaby lake will again probably be just 5-10%, only thing it really gives you is USB 3.1, which if you aren't transferring files all day through a USB 3.1 storage device won't matter either.

[mrtippmann]

well games like black ops 3 and rainbow six siege to run them on high settings i need 6 gigs of vram thats why im getting the 980ti, wouldn't the i7 have better performance then the i5

It can possibly use up to 6gbs of VRAM, but it doesn't seem to matter much, getting the AMD GPU is going to give you better bang for your buck, due in part to the free-sync display it allows you to get, either 4k IPS, or 1440p 144hz IPS, and that's going to be a good deal more useful for gaming, than running a 980ti on a 1080p display for a while, as it's going to make all games run smoother.

 

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/call_of_duty_black_ops_iii_vga_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,7.html

Can't find anything for rainbow six, and in addition, AMD cards potentially have better DX12/Vulkan support for the now near future, and nvidia really seems to hate freedom

 

[mrtippmann]

well after i build this im going to be buying a 144hz monitor  

[mrtippmann]

i was looking around and i found this cpu Intel Core i7‑5820K and was wondering if it would be better for gaming then the i7-4790k

[mrtippmann]

im just going to stick with the  i7-4790k, whats a good motherboard for me to get, i plan on overclocking my cpu and gpu

If you can afford the 5820K then get the 5820K it'll be of much better overall however if you're just gaming and planning on a 144hz display you're best off with an unlocked i5, a high end board, and good cooling over an i7

Also this is probably the display you'd want, 1440p 144hz IPS with free-sync $600 just need a 390 or Fury Nano

why is the i5 a better option then the i7
