[Adambradys]

@Coaxialgamer

First of all , yes , single threaded performance will be slightly worse ( about 10 % , but overclocking will bridge that gap ). But since it has 6 cores , it will obliterate the 6700k.

The 980ti will roughly be twice as fast as the 970.

You will be using the enthusiast x99 platform , this will give you an upgrade path , especially with broadwell E coming out soon..

 

Not to mention : never use the supernova NEX psu's . Spec wise they may seem to be a great value , but they aren't good.? Voltage regulation is pretty bad , and they are generally regarded as worse than CX psus.

@i_build_nanosuits

I would like to see the benchmarks.And i would never buy that MOBO. Mine for 10 dollars extra has 5 YEAR warranty. And really a much better board.This can be said for alot of the parts on that list... bad reviews and no SOLID evidence that any of it is better then the other build.

Just read your post a second time .

Do you already HAVE the rig ?

[Adambradys]

Yes I have the rig ... in class now installing benchmark software soon as home. Do you have the other rig ?

in that case with $1500 I would sell the 970 and buy a 980ti + gsync monitor. I would also replace that PSU as you clearly have the budget for a better one

You should of went X99. It would of been better.

Anyway, get a 980TI and a better PSU.

[eye2012]

Drop the i7 and go for a 980Ti.
