New build tips please

[InfernoGaming]

Tech geniuses help plz.... I am doing a custom build computer and would like some tips on if the items i picked are all compatible or if you have any other suggestions to make my build better... 2 monitor set up. The purpose for my build will be, Video making, Streaming, gaming, and college homework papers. Specs i picked out so far are.... Intel core I7-6900k 3.2ghz 8 core processor, Corsair H100i gtx70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler, Gigabyte GA-X99 gaming G1WIFI EATX LG2011-3 motherboard, Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory, 1 Samsung 950 PRO 512GB m.2-2280 SSD, Sandisk Ultra 2 960GB 2.5'' SSD 2 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB G1 gaming video card, EVGA SuperNOVA 1000g2 1000W 80+ gold certified fully modular ATX power supply, all inside a corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case with 2 ASUS MG278Q 27'' 144hz monitors. There are more customizations in fans and etc. but they won't really effect the build. Any constructive help would be nice, Overall build price is about $4500.00 I would like to stay around that price. Will everything I picked be compatible or do I need to swap some things out?

How much editing and streaming will you be doing? Enough to warrant a 6900K? That's more for career-oriented content creation, heavy rendering, running 37,000 virtual machines at once and/or calculating the meaning of life. If you're just gaming and doing some editing and streaming on the side, you can shave a ton of money off and upgrade around it with a 6700K and a Z170 board.

So max $4500 for your build including monitors?

[Energycore]

Dominator Platinum RAM is overpriced literally - it offers nothing for its additional price. You can stick with Vengeance LPX.

 

Is this build for gaming only? Or are you going to use it to make money (as a workstation)?

Or if you're Nvidia, deep-learning the meaning of MSRP.

I got  5820K for sh*ts and giggles. I love it. Let the man pick what he wants @Energycore @PCNoobie

 

@InfernoGaming If you do any kind of overclocking, I would recommend getting a 280mm radiator instead of a 240mm for the extra cooling capacity. Something like an H110i GTX or whatever's not too expensive where you live.

Let a person waste their money? I think you don't know who I am

[Cereal5]

6900K a waste? its better than a 5960X now at least. who knows, maybe he does a lot of rendering/editing

[InfernoGaming]

I was kinda hoping with the stuff i picked i wouldn't have to do to much overclocking. If i did over clock it at all it wouldn't be much. I was informed overclocking the computer causes the parts to expire faster and i am hoping this build lasts me 5-10 years minimum. As far as what i am using it for it will be for basically everything. I want to use it to game at max settings, stream daily, create 3-5 youtube videos a week, also use it for home office work/school work.

6700k will be enough for you

Overclocking can breathe some life to the processor when it is dying

A 6700k paired with 1080 in SLI unless streaming and youtube gives you huge revenue and donation in which you can get 10 of 6900k for ease

[InfernoGaming]

So the 6700k instead of the 6900k and a 1080 SLI instead of the 2 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB G1 gaming video card?

waith 2 gigabyte 1080 is 1080 SLI

 

Next time quote people so they know.

Hit that arrow pointing to the left easy!

 

6900k certainly will be helpful if you want to waste money. In the future games will run with more and more cores.

 

Why not ASUS Strix 1080 or MSI Gaming G? They look great and worth consider too

Like this? lol thanks for the tip, sorry ill be blunt my technology skills are more in the area of using the computer and a lot less about what is inside of the computer so i am a big newbie at this, In the end i want it to a sweet black and red look to is and when i was looking for high powered gaming cards the gigabyte 1080 had led lights with them which kinda swayed me into picking them. Over all the price isn't something i am that focused on i just want it to run at 100% nonstop with about 20 different programs/games going. hopefully while uploading and rendering videos.

any other difference between the 2 cards? performance or compatibility?

should be compatible

 

it seems msi has lower clock speed than evga g1. sigh i was wrong. but asus rog strix is on top of all. for maximum performance check this

video card is better then gaming card?

video card is just a common word. it is incorrect to say gaming card because that would be 

 

 

anyway. it is the same in the tech world. Gaming Video Card. or Video Card or GPU or Graphics Card

for $4500 and your workload there is a fair amount I would change about your build:

 

Number 1. we have to change your expectations...

Overclocking when done responsibly doesn't really affect the lifespan of your components. you will very likely be replacing them before they die to overuse. A CPU like the 6700k, 6800k, 6850k, 6900k and 6950x are designed to live for MANY years under a reasonably high overclock at 24/7 use. Not a decade mind you, but easily 4-5 years in most cases without you having to worry (again, if done responsibly). Next up, no computer you could build today is going to be viable in 10 years. period. You could invest in a high quality PSU or case that could last that long, but every other component is going to be dwarfed by anything current on the market. It wouldn't even register as competition. in 10 years you could spend a couple hundred bucks on a barebones computer that is going to be better than this machine you're about to make. It could last you 5-6 years, but the same sort of problem will arise. whilst your computer may still be relevant in that time frame, its performance is only going to be about in line of what a low-mid range home PC is going to be capable of.

 

Bottom line is, there is no such thing as future proofing in computers, and you should absolutely be overclocking. I'm not talking about pushing your components to world record speeds, or even to the bleeding edge of what it can do, but a reasonable overclock will not damage your CPU/GPU in any meaningful way, and could easily give you an extra 10%-20% performance (depending on your luck with the silicon lottery)

 

 

2. Your monitors. It does not make any sense to get two monitors like you have in your build. Gaming on dual monitors simultaneously is terrible because you will have a vertical bar separating everything that is happening in the middle of your game. 1 monitor or 3 monitors is the way to go if you intend to game on both monitors. if you do not intend on gaming on both monitors, then you should consider investing less on your secondary monitor (you don't need 144hz if you're not gaming on it) and using that money to buy a better primary monitor (something with G-sync enabled since you're using Nvidia cards). at your budget range you may want to even scrap the idea of two individual monitors and going for something like an X34 Predator from Acer. It is arguably the best gaming experience money can buy today, and its ultrawide format and increased pixel count makes it ideal for video editing and stuff as well. That increased screen real estate is universally desirable in almost any application.

 

3. Your Motherboard. The motherboard you chose is not Broadwell-E compatible out of the box so far as I'm aware. You will need to do a BIOS update in order to use your CPU. Gigabyte has a feature that allows BIOS updates on selected motherboards without the need of compatible CPU's, so you should check to see if your specific motherboard has that feature, or you should look at another choice of motherboard.

 

4. Your cooler. At your price range there is no reason to be using a lowly 240mm cooler. they are inferior compared to their 280mm or 360mm counterparts. Depending on what sort of monitors you end up with (A.K.A, not an Acer X34), $4500 bucks is in the territory of a full custom watercooling loop for you as well.

 

 

 

I could suggest for you a rig if you would like. set forth some parameters such as if you want anything specific in your machine, be as specific or broad as you like, and we can go from there. (things like needing a 1TB SSD in addition to your 500GB 950 PRO for some reason. things like needing wifi for some reason, as you should never be gaming on wifi if at all avoidable. things like colour preferences... I see you have a lot of black and red going on, we could try to continue that theme if you wish. Also, what sort of monitor you need, an X34 is nice, but absolutely really expensive and not for everyone. You could get a much cheaper 144hz 2560x1440p Gsync panel just as well. if you want a second monitor for productivity we could swing that as well, but it doesn't make sense to spend a ton of money on a second monitor if you're not going to game on it, and you shouldn't game on 2 monitors... it should be 1 or 3 ideally. You also seem to be a fan of Corsair and Gigabyte so we could definitely keep that theme going as well).

 

 

 

But yes, you could order all those parts on your list and they will all work fine (so long as you have a method of BIOS updating your motherboard because I do not believe broadwell-E compatibility comes stock on that model)
