The dream machine contest

[SilentScope222]

Hello i am going to build a ddr4 machine, which includes Intel, because they are the only ones going the ddr4 route

Sense Intel is only doing the ddr4 route, i may have to get a I7. maybe the 8 core. May have to overclock that 8 core. Amd is the only one at 5ghz.

And http://www.newegg.ca...7-404-_-Product

and something like this for the mobo

http://www.newegg.ca...0-841-_-Product

AND CASE!!! http://www.newegg.ca...9-160-_-Product

Nobody could beat that.

that water cooling video card would be super quiet to.

One more thing, the monitor

http://www.newegg.ca...6-405-_-Product

Has to be Gsync ready :geek: :dance:

So what do you guys think, anything you could add to the ultimate machine ever built.

Looks quite overpriced for what you'll get out of it, if you ask me. Ditch the DDR4, drop a few hundred bucks off right there, and go with a pair of "normal" GTX 960/970/980 or R9 280/290/380/390 and you'll have higher overall gaming performance in the same rough price range. If you dump the X99 platform you'll save some more money, and the overall gaming performance differences between 4690/4770/4790 and Broadwell/Skylake/X99 (2011-3) are usually within a few %; not worth the price by a mile imho. If you're doing tons of video/rendering/etc that will benefit from the 6/8 core chip then ofc that's worthwhile if you need more work done faster.

 

Monitor looks very nice. I have a similar BenQ (its probably a generation behind by now) - was really a coin toss between Asus and BenQ at the time, not sure if that's still true or not.

Should i ask why you wanna go with an LGA 2011-v3 mobo and not with an LGA1151 ???

 

You would get the same overall performance if you get a lower priced Skylake-S processor and not an 8 core (16 thread) processor.

I'm still debating over it in my head. ya Ddr3 is cheaper but i would like a change of pace from the average builds i see online.

 

besides I'm going sli with a ti anyways. Still to early for ddr4 or is it.

As you build a new rig form scratch, i would go for an Skylake-S and DDR4 memory modules as well.

 

Just not on that socket.

I thing something similar to this, would do the trick just fine...and would cost you much cheaper.
