Wich of these one for a new build i'm planning (gaming)?

When the 1080ti will come out i'm panning to do sli. This will support with no bottleneck right?

Idk cause the 1080ti isn't out yet but I say shouldn't have bottleneck

Get the 7700k, it's the same cost as the 6700k and is about 7% better across the board.

So to make sur i should get 7700k with the 1080ti?

Neither are even out how am I supposed to know...

Good. If you're going to buy a 1080@144 monitor for 1080 Ti SLI, you're going to have a bottleneck and it's not the CPU or the GPU.

7700K with a Z270 Motherboard and a 1080Ti or Vega Equivalent

 

BTW what do you need 1080Ti SLI for?

It's closer to 5%. And that's if he plans on heavily overclocking. It's not the same cost also and Z270 boards will be slightly more. Plus he could get a skylake chip that reaches 4.8-5Ghz

So that means i need a 1440p curved monitor to escape the bottleneck?

At least. You need to balance your build. The CPU bottleneck community will crucify you for going i5 with high refresh (I think it's fine for most cases) and the GPU community will crucify you for pairing a GTX 1080 with one 1080@60 monitor (at least I might and did).

7700K is a 6700K with more clockspeed. so if OP is an overclocker, he will get higher clocks, sometimes significantly higher, on the 7700K

in the same way you might be able to push a 6700K to 4.8Ghz, you might be able to push a 7700K to 5.1 or more (not enough conclusive evidence to know), although both cases are very hard to achieve.

[RadiatingLight]

OP, you don't need SLI at all. an ultrawide 1440p 60Hz panel will be great for you with a 1080Ti / Vega High End

A 1080ti will be able to support an ultrawide 1440p at 60hz (stable)?

[RadiatingLight]

yeah. GTX 1080 is considered good, if slightly underpowered for 4K. it barely scrapes 60FPS. ultrawide 1440p at 60Hz is basically a perfect match for a 1080. a 1080ti is a great card for 1440p 60hz if and if will be for a few years

It's pretty consistently about 7% or better assuming that you throw the thing on even a decent closed loop cooler.  And only the best 6700k's will be stable above 4.8 at a decent 24/7 voltage.

 

A good z270 board is going to cost you pretty much the same as a good z170 board, so that's mostly a wash for a new build and you can also run Kaby Lake on z170 boards (although finding the exact performance numbers for that config is a pain right now).

 

And the MSRP of the 6700k is $350 while you can get it on Amazon for $342. The 7700k MSRP is $339. So give it a few weeks post release and the price is very likely to be down to around MSRP given the expected relatively low demand.

yep

It doesn't matter which one you choose, you will have to upgrade to Kaby Lake eventually if you want to use Intel optane memory, which will be game changing for games, much more so than a super powerful SLI setup, or a fast SSD.
