Upgrade or Rebuild?

[joshfrog]

the i7 6700k is cheaper and theres not a huge performance difference between them that makes the i7 7700k worth getting unless u overclock it to 4.9 or 5ghz and even then i dont think the performance you would get from that would make it a huge difference for gaming

Not everything is Cinebench. The features are much better with Kabylake.

not really unless you watch Netflix all the time, there is no reason to get 7700k.

4 extra downstream lanes, which is why you see 3 M.2 slots on Z270 boards. Octane support. Support for 10bit 4k HEVC encoding and decoding. list goes on...

So you're good mates then?

 

If it was a hundred dollar difference, then yeah. But to go all white knuckled over SKylake is embarrassing. Let it go.

should i just get it, its not to much money more than the 6700k

than go for a z270 setup with a 7700k 

[joshfrog]

if you get an i7 7700k do you need to change what parts you get for your computer so u have the money?

 

[joshfrog]

looking at both builds you put together i would go with this 1 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CjpQLD

if you can afford it, its only really a question of 6700k v 7700k if you dont have the money for the 7700k but overall the build for the 7700k will be a good build and the added h100i should let you overclock your cpu well 

[Taja]

Here in Brazil the price difference is 50 reais ( less than 5%), so 7700k is better. But if 6700k is 15% cheaper, i would get it instead.

why wd black? its over priced and loud.

This one is around $40 over budget, but I think it's worth it to not make sacrifices anywhere. You get the Kaby Lake i7 which is supposed to overclock like a madman (Asus claims 80% of 7600k can run at 5 GHz on their Maximus bords). You get the completely overkill GPU to go with your overkill CPU. You get very fast RAM and a board to overclock both cpu and ram. You get an SSD for your boot partition that's large enough to install a few AAA games on at the same time. You get a data drive. You get a high quality power supply. You get an incredible case. Phanteks cases are so well made and easy to build in (I love my Enthoo Pro). But this acrylic window Enthoo Pro M just looks amazing to me.

But if you want to get it under $1200 this would still be killer:

The 6700k is basically the same chip as the 7700k, but likely a little weaker of an overclocker.

Now go make a R9 Fury build

[Nich]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CjpQLD this is my build so far, any tips or changes i should make?

[Jzus]

is this for just gaming? and what is your budget? do you have the peripherals such as a mouse, monitor, and keyboard?

[m0k]

for a high end system i think you should really have a 240gb-256gh SSD as your boot drive

consider going for a cheaper case, cheaper CPU? i5? 

 

[Bigbootyjudy]

I would definitely buy an ssd and you may be able to cut down hard drive cost by sacrificing capacity.
