Hi everyone,
Looking to build a high-end gaming PC for my son and I. My son also wants to record videos for Youtube and stream live. Hoping to get some advice/suggestions from the community as everything listed here is my son's idea and I would like to make sure that these parts will work well together.
The price range I'm looking at spending is approximately $2,000.00
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 6-Core 3.50Ghz
GPU: MSI GTX 980TI Gaming 6GB
(Display is still 1920x1080, but will move up to 4k in the near future, can this handle 4k with good FPS?)
Motherboard: Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme/U
or
Motherboard: MSI Gaming X99A Godlike Gaming LGA 2011-v3
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 2800Mhz
M.2 Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB M.2-2280
SSD Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB
HD: WD Black Series 3TB 7200RPM
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler
Parts that my son already owns:
PSU: Corsair Professional Gold 1200W 80+ Gold
Case Phantom 820 Gunmetal
Windows 10
As for the CPU should I stick with the i7-5930k or remake the build around the new 6th Generation processors? I'm not sure which is better for gaming and thinking about future proofing a little as well.
Alright that's about it I think...Thank you all for your time in reading this.
I look forward to reading your thoughts and opinions.
Thank you in advance for your help in this and I look forward to reading your comments!
