What do you recommends as a 6800k build

[Scruffy90]

There are a ton of options and idk where to start at least with mobo and ram selection. 

 

-Budget is $1800

-60% gaming 40% video and rendering work, at least based on my recent usage

-Dont need a lot of storage (thinking of a 500gb 960evo as boot). My 2TB drive from my old rig will be moved into the new rig since it houses my steam games. The rest is stored on a local NAS

-Don't know if I should replace my 980ti with a 1080 and throw the 980ti in my wifes rig

-I would like a smaller tower than my define r5 (love how silent it is, but its massive).

 

Suggestions for a build? Sorry for not asking in my previous thread.

The price diff is >$20 and the 6800k is only ~$30 more than the 7700k. I'm buying the cpu local. Rest of the rig on newegg/amazon.

if you want you can go for it stock the 6800k will win but overclocked the 5820k can overclock more than the 6800k so your choice. considering you are going to own a x99 system i would assume you are overclocking.

Is the OC difference really that substantial though?

every drop of performance matters, just go for whatever you like the sound off. 

[Energycore]

Oh I'll give you a MicroATX build

That makes sense. Time to play the silicon lottery.

Couple comments:

Don't get a 960 EVO it's too expensive and this one does about the same (it's tomshardware's recommended mainstream NVMe SSD)

Been dying to build on the Corsair 350D, it's a really well built microATX case

Definitely 32GB you'll need them if you ever edit 4K video

do you already have the 6800k, because a 7700k would do better for gaming and cost less

No. What would you suggest for a z270 build? Cost of 7700k locally is not that much diff from the 6800k

a 7700k because its better for gaming but worse for video editing
