Keep voltages under 1.5V and you should be fine. I wouldn't go over 1.4V personally. Every chip is different in terms of how much you'll get out of it by overclocking it. Silicon lottery is what it's usually referred to.

 

In terms of video card, it depends on what you want to do with this PC. Do you intend to game on all 3 monitors at once? Not gonna happen on a 1080. Just on the central monitor: sure, a 1080 will serve that resolution just fine. Anything less would be a waste. I assume you don't intend to go 144Hz or something like that? Especially at that resolution, you'll need a heavily overclocked i7 to help push the high frames, and more than one 1080 or Titan X.

1. Change the 6600k for a 6700k.
2. Change that 2400mhz kit of RAM for a 3000/3200 one.
3. As for the voltage, try to not go too much over 1.4v.

Get a better psu, cx750 for a rig thats 4000$ is kind of "cheaped out".

[Jovidah]

Those prices seem way off. 250 dollars for 16 GB of RAM? Should be more like 75-80. Some of the other stuff seems excessively overpriced as well. 

Also I agree with the previous poster; if you're going for a 4000 dollar PC at least make it an i7, and get quality across the board.

 

Why the excessive amounts of SSD storage though? Do you really need that amount of fast storage? Because a few HDDs would save you a lot of money. For 4000 dollar you could build an i7-6950x rig (not that you necessarily should)...

[danrey84]

What are you doing with your new rig is it for gaming for professional purposes???? $4000 is a lot of money its easy for tha money to be spent on needless stuff *cough cough*  to much ssd storage. Don't take this the wrong way but this list screams of someone who has just thrown everything in the basket to total $4000. 1thing that stands out to me is how you have chosen really good parts yet you skimp on the psu. A ' Bronze ' rated psu in this level of system is potentially asking for problems. I would say the minimum is a gold rated personally. Also at the moment you could possibly go x99 2011-v3 chipset you maybe able to find some good deals on a 5960x cpu. The DDR 4 Ram if my money would be minimum 3000Mhz. Motherboard that's personal choice on which brand you prefer/trust. Monitors yea ok that's again personal choice but if this build is to last say 3 years or so then my main monitor would be 4k minimum and your side monitors depending what your planning to do with them don't really need to be fancy bleed edge technology unless you are having a 3 monitor gaming rig which then again you would go for 3 of the same. If the side monitors are for having different windows open i.e Internet explorer team speak etc etc then get a couple of mid range 1080p's and put what you save towards something else i.e nice mechanical keyboard or mouse.

What will you be using it for? 

[S1-]

i will be using for gamming and some work and editing

i only intend to game on the 4k monitor the 2 side are for programs running so i can keep an i one what happening or multitasking while some thing is full screen

[S1-]

if you guys i have a build that cost 4000 or lower please post the specs

needs to be future proof

fast and for gaming

this is my first build so cut me some slack

is this i7-6700K good enough cpu

Yeah a 6700K is good enough. You could go 6800K on X99 if you can squeeze that in, but you'd lose some single core performance if you don't overclock.

i am using my Tt key board and a Logitech G300 i alreadyhave them so thats saves money

are these good price http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Monitors/17-22_inch/54635-E2070SWN?gclid=Cj0KEQjw4fy_BRCX7b6rq_WZgI0BEiQAl78nd0SlqKXsm7UVz6PIAVVyUWFY6T7vFJIBv6HWDJSlhRIaAutY8P8HAQ

is this great price or is there cheaper 5960x

thanks for reminding i coudn't find the Asus Z170 pro gaming or i am just blind

[danrey84]

Well you won't be able to have a z170 with that CPU anyway you will have to go x99

msi or Asus??

Asus or EVGA. That's again which ever brand you have had good experiences with

Depends on your personal preference. Both brand make both decent and not so decent stuff.

i done and have the mobo now is this good??

new rebuild slightly different

Do you have an overabundance of money or something? This setup is utterly wasteful for someone who's doing 'gaming and some editing'.

 

Drop the fancy 8-core and go with the i7-6700k. That should save you almost 700 dollars straight away. It also allows you a much cheaper motherboard as well. Then pick a motherboard that only has stuff you actually need.

 

You can also ask yourself whether you really need a full terabyte of SSD space. If all your games and software only make up 200 GB there's really no point in getting an expensive 1 TB drive instead of just a much cheaper 500GB version.

Personally I'd also go with a higher quality PSU instead of just going for an overkill of wattage (800 is way too much anyway).

 

Remember...the fact that you have a 4000 dollar budget doesn't mean you have to spend all 4000 dollars. Given how unexperienced you sound there's no way you're going to leverage the theoretical benefits of the more expensive 8-core stuff and you're probably a lot better off just getting a setup for less than 3000 dollars and using the money you saved to just go on a vacation.

[S1-]

thanks for the advice for changing the parts that made it much cheaper

and i am not aloud to spend on a vacation the money is only for pc build
