The quicker the reply, the better. I play on buying parts today. My main questions - is motherboard overpriced, I honestly don't give a flying shit about lights. What would be the best replacement for the motherboard? Should I go with a 5820k instead of 6800k? Also, I just want a quiet PC build, so what is recommended PSU? And is this the best version of GPU? Thanks for your help :)

You got a super sweet build there. But you are missing a hard drive. And the Kraken X62 is out

Thanks man! Had no idea the X62 was out, thanks for telling me.

For x99 it's not really overkill as things are expensive. What is that build for? Gaming only then stick with 6700k. PSU is fine but for a single card it is bit too much. No HDD?

I'm going to be doing some video editing and photoshop, so might as well have the extra cores. I have to 500GB 850 evos, so i'm going to be using that for overflow. And I might add in a second card later. Thanks :)

the amazon OEM 64 bit windows 10 home is overpriced. get this one: https://www.kinguin.net/category/22175/windows-10-home-oem-key/

 

a better gpu would be the titan x pascall

 

 

Definitely going to buy it off kinguin. And I agree, but that GPU is not necessary for what i'm going to be doing.

Not really, not for an X99 MoBo. You could find something cheaper that would do fine, but not by much. 

 

That's a really damn good PSU

 

Honestly they should perform about the same if I recall correctly. 

 

If you care about customer support, then yes. EVGA is supposed to be amazing. The cooler? There are probably a little better, but not by much.

Alright cool. Thanks for answering my questions!
