The ENDURANCE build

[Zwitter]

Hey!

 

So I'm in the early stages of building a new high-end config. I'm showing it off for you guys to know if everything is correct.

 

The part list can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fWwpzM

 

Awaiting for your responses and opinions!

Are you only playing games or are you using this PC to edit and render videos 24/7 on top of playing games?

Are you sure a 128GB SSD will be enough?

Do you have any other storage-devices which you will be reusing? If not, at least a 250GB SSD is a must i'd say, and a HDD with however much space you need.

All games on high settings in the next years on, and editing, rendering FHD content.

 

Also doing a lot other things at the same time.

Yes, I have a HDD at home. But this is a small detail. I'm curious about the compatibility and stability.

1080P monitor with a 1080, NO JUST NO!

 

Let me jiggle this

[Zwitter]

But it's 144Hz! I don't want 4K anyway...

1080 at 1080P is bottlenecked massively by CPU

[Zwitter]

But it works, isn' it?

This is about the same price (there was no price for your 960 so replace as necessary) 32gb will help with renders, 1440P monitor by dell is a good panel and I dropped to a 1070 which is perfect for 1440P

[Zwitter]

I agree with the VGA and RAM change. I hope G.Skill is stable. I never tried it before. - I'd stay with the monitor.

 

So the new setup is as it follows: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TTTD7h

Based on personal experience a 480gb or 512gb is better for getting all regular applications installed on an SSD. 1070 is much better choice and you can sli later on instead of buying a new GPU. 

 

Also...I really hope you do a lot of video work and rendering to justify the 6800k. Cause an i7 6700k oc'ed does quit well with gaming and video work. Especially when you can render on your GPU. I record games and edit in Adobe premiere to show my friends with a 4690k at 4.5 16gb ddr3 2400mhz and r9 290 4gb while multi tasking quite a bit and I have zero issues

 

My thoughts for your consideration. 

[Zwitter]

Your thoughts are considered. The reason why I'm going for a Broadwell-E 2011-3 Socket is to hit the newest technology so far, and be able to upgrade later on. The good thing is that I'm fine with the finances.
