Is this just for gaming ? You doing any video editing/rendering or streaming ?

 

Also what monitor do you have ?

[Katsunaka]

Your CPU is OVERKILL for gaming.

 

Buy a 6600k or 6700k and enjoy it. A PC meant for gaming and browsing the web doesn't need an x99 cpu. It's a total waste of money. 

 

[AzuraHJ]

no, but i used it mostly for gaming, i do video editing for someone. I used  Asus PG279Q for the monitor

You could get an i7 6700K setup for less and it will still do fine for video editing.

 

What is your budget/Location ?

[AzuraHJ]

i'm in asia. i'm trying to make this PC to useable for the next 5-6 year. From what i see that 6700K is not going to last long enough. My budge is 3.5k USD

6700k sometimes performs better in games because most value clock speed more than cores...

Why would you think that ? The gpu will be outdated before the i7 6700K.

You should probably go with something like this http://techbuyersguru.com/3500-ultimate-gaming-pc-build

[Zyndo]

is this 3500 including your choice of monitor?

Well, including your monitor, I had to be pretty careless about where I threw your 3500 bucks around in order to reach budget. In an X99 system, here Is what I came up with. Everything in this build is bigger, better, or faster than your original post. and consumes your 3500 budget. If you have shipping fees or whatever, you could always scale back to 16GB of RAM instead of 32, get a 1080 instead of 1070 SLI, and get a standard SSD instead of a fast m.2 drive in order to save money.

If you went Skylake and Z170 you could easily afford 1080 SLI on that budget. and I don't know what you've seen about the 6700k that makes you think it would be obsolete in 5-6 years. I mean, if in 5-6 years you plan to be doing professional grade computer applications, then sure, that's maybe possible. but a well overclocked 6700k is never going to give you any issues in gaming and light-moderate editing/rendering workloads, not until the day it suddenly doesn't work anymore that is.

 

If for some reason none of this appeals to you, or things are way more expensive where you are than I've understood, then my only recommendations for your original build is to get 4x4 kit of ram instead of 2x8 for X99 (typically works better/slightly faster), and get 1080 since you can probably afford it.
