Now what i am curious about is what GPU to go. I am also waiting for the RX 480 benchmarks but I'm not sure if that card will fit my build. I do modelling in AUTODESK/AUTOCAD, aswell in Blender and Zbrush and I'm a UE4 amateur developer so I need a good pc to get things going. I plan on overclocking the 5820k to about 4GHz, if it's stable on the dark rock pro 3, and i didn't select the 6800k because the performance increase is minimal and the price is 100$+ higher... so yeah.

 

Tell me what other things to change and what GPU to go for, looking forward to seeing your advice!

If you are looking for B4B then go for the RX 480. But if you have the pocket money get a good 1080 because they will offer higher performance then the 480

Yeah i know it offers better performance but since my tasks are more cpu that gpu intensive, will it make a change going for the 1070/1080?

Not really, from what I know those kinda tasks are not very well done with GPU acceleration so I would just got for the RX 480. If that doesn't work buy another one and crossfire it
