[danejcy]

Hello ! I am building a new pc and i am not sure which cpu+mobo to pick.... Currently i have two options
Option 1 :
I5 9600k
Z390 aourus pro
16 gb ddr4 3000mhz
850w psu
m2 240gb ssd
total cost : 625 euros (all parts come new with warranty from a store)
Option 2 :
I7 5820k
Asus rampage v extreme
16gb ddr4 2400mhz
850w psu
240gb m2 ssd
total cost : 430 euros (all parts come used without any warranty)

I dont now which combo to pick. Pc will be mainly used for gaming and only for light production programs from adobe. I will pair it with 2 1080ti in sli.
Thx for all the answers.

Hmm. Obviously new is good. Something goes wrong in the early days you can return it.

Rampage Extreme is a beefy motherboard with a lot of features, if you aren't going to use all of them it may not be worth it. Though the pricing seems good. 16GB DDR4 in what config? 4x4GB or 2x8GB? Ideally 4x4GB since that would get you quad channel memory, something the i5 and Z boards can't do.

Being 4 years newer and being able to reach higher clock speeds it would probably be a close comparison in terms of raw performance. Depends a lot on how much that i7-5820k can be overclocked. Certainly has the advantage in logical threads.

i7 is going to use a lot more power. What kind of cooling are you getting with the i7, or the i5 for that matter?

If you are going with such a beefy GPU setup, why not push for an i7-8700k or i7-9700k, then it would be no contest.

How important is 200 euros to you and how do you value a warranty?

From a performance point of view for a gamer, the 9600K is better.
6 threads is sufficient, most games do not effectively use more than 4.
The 5820K has 12 threads and a passmark rating of 12989 and a single thread rating of 2022.
The 9600K is stronger with a 13491 total rating and a stronger single thread rating of 2688.
The single thread rating is most important for games.

Do not plan on sli. You will win synthetic fps benchmarks but your gaming will be better on a single good card.
sli is prone to stuttering, screen tearing and non support in an increasing number of games.
If you think a GTX1080ti will not do the job, look to a stronger RTX card.

Passmark can be deceiving though. We don't know the actual clock speed those chips were running. The i7-5820k has a much lower stock core clock, but can easily be overclocked on all cores well above that. For games it should be better though. For encoding, quad channel memory could be worth it.

Only really one stronger card and it would be a net performance loss to upgrade. Not to mention that would mean selling each 1080Ti for $600+ just to break even. Though I agree that SLI isn't a great idea, but that depends on the resolution. I ditched my GTX980s fairly quickly for the single GTX1080.
