Here is a suggestion if you are willing to wait a bit the newer line of gpu's should be coming out pretty soon I would suggest you wait for them it really dose help to have a budget even ballpark estimate because that would really help in the build process. Also from what I hear the R9 390 is a stronger card but because your last system had an Nvidia I just stuck to that and the 980 came down in price as well so that helped.
Includes a 1440p 144hz IPS display, just don't buy the ASUS one as it only has free-sync up to 90hz, while the ACER one here has free-sync up to 144hz.
also US based build, so some parts might not be optimal
Thanks for your suggestion, X99 seems to be a rip off for what i will be doing, i doubt Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere once in a blue moon will really justify the price over the much lower priced Skylake IMO, plus Skylake is faster at raw gaming?
looks pretty solid though I wouldn't get the blue ray drive because they don't work very well and if you wanted to play blue rays its better to get an actual player. On top of that the blue ray drive doesn’t come with software and the software that is out there is kind of hit and miss. And Skylake should be faster in gaming
skylake is 5% faster than haswell so not too much of a difference clock for clock.
it's more for the platform, and it basically costs the same if you factor everything in, the CPU/Motherboard is hardly more expensive than what you have there, and the only thing you have to save some money on is the cooler, but the Hyper 212 EVO/X will be fine for a mild OC if you aren't in a hot area.
I like to push things to their limit's (reasonable limit)
5ghz etc which is doable on both platforms.
I'm not sure if me and you are looking at the same prices, X99 is far more expensive, the boards even low end are ludicrous.
Plus basic encode and rendering... i can't justify it TBH, i already stream to Twitch and my internet is my limiting factor not processing power, so even then the 6700K is going to blow my AMD chip into the next cosmos.
i would get a xeon 2670 off ebay. they are going for about 70$ USD atm and are hyper threaded 8 core's.
atm the market is being flooded by discontinued servers so you can one of these dirt cheap. run off a x99 board like the one guru suggested. cant be overclocked, but more cores and better performance then anything under 1k$
and ofc with x99 you can upgrade the cpu to a overclockable one down the road.
Yeah that's like my CPU at 3.6ghz, it's not enough to get the most out of the chip which is the reasonable limit, unreasonable is LN2 and DICE... crazy runs or Helium.
The only thing you need to take into consideration is the TDP, obviously intel have dun goofed before with the 4770K and 4670K with trhe internal application of Thermal compound, but that aside, TDP is everything.
My chip exceeds the Phenom II x4 traditional TDP as it's an unlocked dual core, so we are already above 140w which is the same TDP as the 5820K, i run my Phenom under a liquid cooler (H100).
Max temp this chip will allow is 62c which is not comparable to the intel CPU's, they have a higher ceiling but they still scale temps the same as the AMD chips, they are just higher numbers.
Ya I dunno, overclocking has lost it's luster a bit, like the i7 6700 already has a turbo speed of 4ghz, really not much reason to go past that for most cases.
Still though even if you don't have the mega cooler the 6700K gives you, you have the way better platform and additional CPU cores to work with on the 5820K, or Broadwell EP was just announced/released and that has Skylake's extra 5% performance since it's broadwell naturally.
And then there's also the PCI-e lane thing if you ever want to blow some cash on NVME drives, 28 lane max for Z170 I think, and 40 lane for X99 if you go for the higher end chip of the 5930K
