Thanks for taking your time to put the list together!  

May I ask your reason behind choosing the 6700k over the 5820k? I am aware that the extra cores and threads will benefit me greatly for apps such as Photoshop, After Effects and Premier Pro which is why I considered it in the first place but lurking around the internet lately, there are die hard fans on both chipsets which got me really confused

no problem.

both are just as good as one another. imho the adobe suite of tools doesn't benefit much more from the 5820K (it certainly works as good on my ivy bridge i7 3770 compared to my buddy's i5 6600K),but if you can find something better out of it i.e. for rendering to mp4/wav/whatever-video-codec-here then all the more reasons to buy one.

6700k allows for some better future proofing. you can carry over your ram, there might be some news one on the same socket in the future (just a idea, no one attack me for that pls), where as the 5820k, you're not going to get anything better on the x99 platform. 

 

plus, that freaking price difference, dude. The 5820k is meant to be a SUPER EXTREEEEMMMEEEE workstation CPU, the 6700k is "i do photoshop and video editing" but the 5820k is "i do 3D modeling while running 25 tabs on chrome." (clearly a exaggeration, but i think you get the point.)

i prepped you a parts list you might like.

do whatever you want with it.

 

PS - i used crossfire instead because SLI is a bit unreliable. do use SLI 1080s if you really want,though,i'm not gonna stop you.

>i also forgot to mention that the 5820K doesn't actually have a skylake equivalent (e.g. 6820K),but you could also use that and DDR3 sticks instead.

uh, why the 12gb of ram? is that intentional or..?

yeah,it's intentional.

is there a problem with it?

it just seems odd to me. I personally don't understand why you wouldn't go for 16gb if you clearly want more than 8. nothing wrong with it, just curious as I've never seen that before

unless you run serious multitasking,i doubt 16GB will give you more benefit over 12GB + it's cheaper to go with the latter

Are the video files important? If so, I'd get 3 3TB drives and put them in RAID 5. If not, get 2 4 TB drives and use them as two drives.

 

Only if you edit high res video files or high FPS files

 

Can't remember the specifics at this moment but the 5820k has plenty of PCIe lanes to spare!

Hi guys! Slightly off topic but I was lurking around the internet last night and found out that the panel on the LG monitor I wanted couldn't be overclocked

To test it, I underclocked my friend's Swift panel to 60 and 120 Hz respectively to feel the difference - and boy was it really slow.

Now I'm torn between the LG 34UC87 which I mentioned before which costs AUD$1.2k or the Acer X34 which costs AUD$1.6k. I'm looking for opinions on G-Sync and High refresh rate

My parents were fine with spending the extra money but I just felt a little bad and hence came here to ask for suggestions!

 

Cheers!

overclocking monitors? doesn't that just inflate your GPU's refresh rate output?

i wouldn't dabble with that too much if i were you.

 

on the other hand,i can't speak for G-sync quality,but i'd still go for the LG monitor. even with panels being pretty much the same,i doubt you really have much of an edge with that acer X34. but that's your call.

 

cheers
