tian x PC build

[Cmo23]

Hi guys I bought a MacBook pro back in September and I'm looking to sell it to build a pc since my MacBook is only a dual core and its not powerful enough for avid pro tools or adobe photoshop since both software recommend a quad core and I have a sandy bridge I5 2500k build I built back in 2012 and can a I5 2500k handle a titan x and ill have 1300 in my account after my MacBook pro sells what kind of build would yall suggest if I need to upgrade x99 or z170 any help and advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

You'd maybe(?) need to upgrade the cpu so it wouldnt bottleneck the titan.

Do you have a pcpartpicker link for your current pc specs?

a good combo would be a 6800k or something for that titan x. So x99 would be better

If he got an i5 6600k it should be fine. A i7 6700k would be just for insurance. I don't think a 6800k is needed, even with a Titan X.

that sounds good to me I would love a x99 build and here are the specs of my current build a z77x-ud5h motherboard and a I5 2500k with 8GB of corsair vengeance ram

I would either go X99 and get a 6800K, or get a 3770K since it will work with that board. A i7 will help you out with some of the tools. You can of course see if the 2500K is enough for you by trying out and deciding if you want to upgrade later.

 

What are you going to use the build for other than avid pro tools or adobe photoshop .

or just don't get a titanX, and get a GTX1070/1080 and get a i7 6700 or i7-6800K to go with it?

I'm thinking about just getting a 3770k or upgrading to x99 but I'm really not sure what I should do I'm kind thinking about when my MacBook pro sells going ahead and getting my titan x and then  waiting for AMD zen to launch in January and I'm really not sure besides avid pro tools and adobe phtotoshop
