5820K / M.2 / GPU Performance

[Eclipsed Dreams]

I already bought some parts for my upgrade. I bought a

5820K
32 GB DDR4 RAM
Asus X99-A
Samsung 950 Pro M.2

I have a Titan X I was going to use in it.

My question is, will my Titan X suffer a performance hit because I went with the 5820K instead of the 5930K?

Would it be better to just buy another SSD and RAID it?

Titan X is fine with 5820k, even 2 in SLI. A single Titan X will get full 16 lanes of PCI-E. Plenty left over for 950 PRO.

No, the only difference between the 5820k and the 5930k is the PCIe lanes and the slightly lower clock speed. The 5820k can supply 28 PCIe lanes, while the 5930k can supply 40 PCIe lanes. Since your titan only takes up 16, it doesn't make a difference.

As LiquidPC stated, there is plenty left over for your SSD. M.2 SSD's are fast enough that I don't think you need to put them in raid 0, I would actually prefer redundancy over speed(putting them in raid 1 rather than 0) considering how fast they already are.

Cheers!
