So I didn't plan on upgrading until the next series of GPUs came out but I've got no choice but to now. So I'm hoping my 780 ti is still good until I can upgrade it. 

 

So can someone tell me if I have any incompatibility that I'm not noticing? Yes I know that I'm not getting the cheapest blah blah blah.  I want premium parts.  The only thing I'm really flexible on is should I switch to x99 or not? 

[Fassive]

budget? 

[Aphoristic]

2 to 3 thousand, US. For the full build. Tower cost only. 

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

Get an Asus Maximus VIII Extreme, a noctua NH-D15 (the thing is an air cooler and wipes the floor with most watter coolers), and a 750T from Corsair

I'm inclined to tell you that if you're going for a SLI build, you'll be better off with a 5820K instead.

[Aphoristic]

Wasn't planning on SLI.

here you go, something quick. you can choose storage and rest of stuff. Though x99 is something i would recommend in that price range

[ThatOneRussian]

Why is everyone recommending x99 if you dont know what hes using it for....

[brob]

These would be my picks based on your criteria. PSU depends on gpu choice. An 850W G2 is fine for two GTX 980 Ti.

I mean when he is already spending so much why not go for max perfomance

because its not max performance in gaming against a 6700k 

[kmanchine]

well for gaming probably. But i went for idea if he is rendering or maybe looking to get into it.

Because even if he's only gaming, it's better to choose a higher-end platform with a more powerful CPU for essentialy the same price?

[Aphoristic]

I'll admit that I am torn on possibly x99. I'm just not sure how much I'd benefit from it. Mostly gaming but I  was looking somewhat into more professional uses... Isn't a new extreme just around the corner though?

The new Broadwell-E platform will use the X99 motherboard. I guess you could go 5820K and upgrade later... But I'm expecting to see a very minimal improvement between the two. So you could do that or wait for a bit and buy all your parts at once.

 

For professional use, I'd recommend a hexacore 5820K over the quad core 6700K any day, especially in programming, rendering and editing etc.

 

If you overclock the 5820K, you'll see very similar performance in gaming in comparison to the 6700K OC, and even better performance if you're going for a SLI build (so I don't see why just want one 980Ti for a $3000 PC).

[Aphoristic]

I updated the first post with my tentative build. Please critique. Sorry it's not formatted. Not sure how to on mobile. 

[Aphoristic]

Say I wanted to in the future upgrade to the latest Nvidia card,  whatever it's going to be called. If I were considering SLI would I be better with X99?

 

Would SLI be necessary to max 1440p 144hz? 

 

Edit thanks everyone. Just ordered everything.
