Geekwad, you rock! Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions in such detail. It was very informative. I will have to keep thinking about the things you wrote for a while. I had no idea that the upcoming Intel processors would again be the same socket type. I should research, but...

One word about the PSU: It may be wise to get a new one IF it dates back to your original build 6 years ago. I also built a system 6 years ago, and am looking to build a new one now, and explicitly asked what people would think about me using my old PSU. Everyone who answered said it was not a...

Sorry, I could not keep talking last night, cause my wife was sleeping in the room where my computer is. I have a couple questions: Are EVGA PSU's good? I remember reading a bad thing about EVGA: http://www.overclock.net/t/1476935/why-you-should-not-buy-an-evga-supernova-nex650g-750g-aka-g1...

Did you both skip the cpu cooler bcs i7-6700 comes with one?

After 2 weeks of research, I've put together the following list, and I would like to get your input: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/zW6jyf Price breakdown by merchant...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the case you are considering, nzxt manta, comes with a built in fan control panel on which you can hook up to 8 fans.. So, as far as I understand, you do not need a splitter. Click the following and scroll down...

Actually, since I talked with you, people I hae spoken with have swayed me towards a 1440p 144hz gsync monitors. You can read this discussion: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3117484/pls-understand-point-1440p-144hz.html

@J_E_D_70 Thanks for the input man. I'll definitely keep an eye out for a good deal. I have been pretty busy trying to figure out what to get, haven't had time to hunt down deals yet. I am excited now! It'll probably take me another week before I order my full build, but now I feel much...

Thanks for the discussion guys. @chenw: Thank you for the detailed post. Your points confirmed mine. 4k was lakimens' idea anyway, and I am definitely not sold on it. It is too new. I am not a guy at the cutting edge of tech. I still use a i5-760 along with a Radeon 5870 :) I am only trying to...

Yeah, I definitely am not buying a 4k monitor. I have somewhat made my mind about that. I mostly game on this computer, and do programming and I want efficiency. I'll worry about 4k in 4-5 years. If it wins this war..

@Hlsgsz: I understand what you're saying about the monitor probably lasting for years to come. I used to think the same thing, but, given how fast things are changing, I just feel like you have to change the whole system every 5 years. I mean, I'll go 1440p now, and then in 5 years everything...

I built my last system in October 2010, and am due for an update. I got my eyes fixed on a i5-6600k and gtx 1070. Big post incoming! TL;DR: Given that gtx 1070 can barely push 70fps on a 1440p monitor with current games, is there any point in buying a 1440p 144hz monitor if you are upgrading...

Same boat as you. I am using this guide. http://wecravegamestoo.com/forums/monitor-reviews-discussion/15713-best-144hz-monitors.html#post1357728 Also, I would advise you to read these benchmarks: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-pascal-performance,4585-3.html...

Thank you for your answers. @Barty1884: I cannot post the full model beyond the link I posted since I am at work. But thank you. But, it sounds like, consensus seems to be that getting a new PSU is the smart move here, given that mine will be 6 years old in 3 months. I guess, in this case, I...
