Why not get a 5820K unless you need the extra pci lanes for like 4 way sli, also a 850w PSU would be fine as-well

AAA Gaming with an x34 predator and HDD/s in raid 1 for all media

[Samfisher]

Holy balls the first post... First question, why the 5930k?  2nd question, do you need 6 cores and 12 threads? 3rd question, why 850 Pro and 950 Pro?  The 850 Evo will meet your needs, and you will never even use 5% of the power of the 950 Pro.

I'm going to be blunt, like very very blunt. You really don't need most of this to get "AAA" gaming. And HDD's for media just go all in or not at all HDD is dying move on already.

5930k was suggested to me awhile back when i was first planning this about 2 to 3 weeks ago, and i was told 950 was over kill but it just seams so awesome, and i maybe wrong but wont it also help with load times in witch 3, and other large games as those. 

 

p.s. and also start up

[Dzzope]

no... 950 is not needed for loading games.. standard ssd is plenty fast enough it's a waste, as is an x99 platform unless your doing some serious gaming and streaming and whatever other dozen things in the background.

Nope, that won't make a difference between a SSD and a NVME SSD when loading things in games.

The 950 Pro has nothing for regular consumers like us.  It was made for multiple user cases where 20 or so people constantly access the SSD, it won't choke under load.  Also games do not load at the max speed of any SSD.  Startup times are actually same or the worse than regular SSDs.  You may be saving 1-3 seconds on boot time if any at all.  Large games don't load every file every launch, they just load what they need, and you won't ever approach even the max speeds of a SATA3 SSD when loading games

[nexamoon]

Also doing some overclocking

What do you need from the build? UWQHD @ ?? fps? and?

I wasn't paying close enough attention and thought I had seen something that I in-fact didn't. Thank-you for calling that to my attention.

The fuk you on about?

 

I have a 512Gb SSD and 3TB HDD. If not for that HDD, my SSD would be rekt already because of the gaming recording I am doing on it.

And I have not even once filled over 300Gb on the SSD at any given time. That is terrible advice you're giving.

 

 

HDD is where I keep my movies, pictures, games that I don't bother installing on SSD, and totally random downloads. "HDD is dying move on" is literally the stupidest thing I've heard this year, but it's okay - it's only February, you still have time.

 

 

 

 

I'm playing in UHD on 295x2 and it's fairly enough for 4K60 gaming.

 

 

 

 

You'd be good enough with 2xSLI because 4x doesn't scale well, your price-performance goes to shit.

 

 

CPU, You'd be good with 4790K as well, but that again depends on you. If you want to go with more expensive CPU for very little to none of the benefit, by all means go ahead

x34 predator OC to 100 no lag

Definitely larger size.  Once you feel the SSD, you'll want more more more!  Chuck a couple of 850 Evos in there and take the rest out and you will have more space, save money and have 0 noticeable performance difference!

Didn't mean to hurt your feels bro... keep your HDD if you want.

You're not hurting my feelings, you're hurting this guy's budget if he listens to you.

HDDs are a thing, and your SSD fanboyism is just plain stupid.
If you plan to use SSD as a long term storage, then I think that is literally THE stupidest thing I have heard all year round. "Just buy more SSD!"

You're sounding like a Jehovah's witness trying to sell more bibles, or in this case - SSDs.
