Oh, OK. The H100i is good enough, if you could get a 280mm AIO, it would be better, but you shouldn't have any issues..

[VirusStorm]

Well i'm upgrading almost my entire system. This is what I have so far

If you care about your rendering quality and having accurate results then you need ecc ram, so you have no choice but to go with xeon or amd system. if you're just in the process of learning, fooling around or not using it for commercial work, while using system as your daily driver then 5820k is good choice, otherwise just built two system one for rendering and gaming\intrawebz

.....overclocking single cores? Whats the point of that? lol

So that you can get higher per core performance....

This is commercial but I'm also learning lol

you might as well overclock the whole cpu then

You are overclocking the whole CPU. but when you are not using all of the cores you allow the cores that are being used to run at a higher frequency...

I already have a 1070, but I decided to add another one because I had room in the budget

I wouldn't change anything. If the 6800K costs just $20 more then it might be worth it. If it costs considerably more ,the 5820K is a great choice.

the 6800k is $70 more...

Definitely not worth it! The 5820K is just as fast, if not faster when both are overclocked!

Well the 5820K will bring the price down further.

The vast, vast majority of games do not support or do not run well with dual CPUs, meaning you will be using one CPU for gaming. The individual cores on the E5 2670 are much weaker and slower, so it's going to have a pretty big impact on gaming. 

 

They're good for multi-threaded applications, but for games, which tend to use a maximum of 4 cores, they're not a good choice. 

You do understand that's not how that works correct? The Game doesn't see two sockets it just sees the number of cores Windows says it has. If you had two quad cores with hyper threading the game will see 16 threads and treat it as one processor. Windows does all the fancy work.

I was under the impression it doesn't work that way with games. I think I saw a video somewhere comparing single and dual CPU systems, where the second CPU wasn't be used at all, as if it just wasn't there. That's just going from memory though. 

 

Important part is, from what I can find, the difference between a single E5-2670 and two seems to be a decrease in performance, or no change (for gaming)

 Matters on how many cores you are using I am fairly sure. If you have two 20 core chips the second one will not get touched at all. If you had, for some reason, a dual i3 system it would be on par with an i7 effectively.
