Building it off of CyberPower. Want this to last for some time without having to upgrade it. I am going to order it in a week, just seeing if there's any helpful advice beforehand. Thanks for your help! I will be gaming, using Virtual Machines, and console emulators. Which is why I opted for the extra ram. But I chose the 2800 mhz instead of the 3000 because I didn't see a huge difference in performance for the extra $150. It's $3,000, but it comes with everything.

Others can advise cheaper but still powerful solutions for you.
 
Hey, I appreciate it. You seem to have added better brand parts and kept it under the price, lol. I will definitely look into this...I may order them all and try and have a local PC place build it for me. I wouldn't want to damage a 3k project because I'm a newb. Which is why I was going through CyberPower inthe first place.

I was going to get the 6700k now and upgrade to the 6950X later. Someone told me I can't because it's a different chipset? If I buy the 6850k now can I upgrade to the 6950X later?
 
You've got $3,000 to spend on a PC. Do not buy Cyberpower under any circumstances. You can get a much better PC with a much better CPU and dual GPUs if you build it yourself:

That is a much wiser use of $3,000.
