$3750 - $4k pc build

Solution


I don't think you need to spend that much. You could spend about 1/2 that and then pocket the rest. Anything over a certain price point - mainly $2500, results in diminishing returns on your investment and you won't get the full performance you would expect. I would do something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($419.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BK 68.5 CFM...
Nice I was to say you should get a custom Titan cooler than I scrolled down...


Just a few things:

You don't need 1000W PSU.
Go for a smaller one preferably with even better quality, like a Seasonic Prime. 750W can handle any overclock and leaves headroom

It's a shame that you go for crappy fans like that.
If it's a matter of design get Corsair MLs
Otherwise stick with Phanteks fans.
They perform way better while being significantly quieter than the crappy AFs.

Also you might wanna consider going the LGA 2011-3 route instead of Kaby Lake

If you like spending money and can afford it, that's great. Definitely go for it, as those are great high end builds. Just keep in mind it won't be long before you have to upgrade those dual gtx 1080's running them at 4k, because you'll only get max 60 fps on existing triple A titles. As newer triple A games come out, that max 60fps will start to drop.

That's really all you need to spend on the tower. Don't spend anything more or less, and pocket the rest or put it toward monitor(s).

You never listed the monitor resolution.
You need to buy the memory in one matched set as in one package.
If your spending that much on a keyboard then buy a good one Corsair does not make a good one.

Yeah I agree, monitor resolution is very important here, but again like I said anything over a certain price point results in diminishing returns on your investment. Although I personally have a couple of Corsair keyboards and I have never had a problem with any of them.
