Good Motherboard for i7 5820k

[AskerOC]

I am planning to make a i7 5820k build
but i don't know which motherboard will be the best for my build

I liked the MSI x99A gaming 7 but is there any motherboard is better than this mobo and in the same price?

and this is my build " http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mbkzM8 " if there is anything wrong tell me.

Honestly I'd just buy a 6700k and a GTX1080. You'll see very little benefit in the 5820k if you are gaming, but the 1080 is a significant upgrade.

If gaming is all you do, an i7 6700K would be faster and a little cheaper.

But, here's some tweaks.

Motherboard is good (you can spend more on the Gaming 7 if there's some particular feature you want)
Memory is slowed to what you can run without BCLK changes.
NVMe M.2 SSD added for a bit more zip (although perhaps not $80 worth of it)

I'd probably use big air rather than liquid cooling and I'd use a different case, but cases are a personal choice.

First of all, thank you for the great build....

If you know a better case tell me, I don't have a personal choice there. I talked it randomly.
and Why will you take air cooler instead of the liquid? isn't the liquid better? + if you know a cheaper cooler that can OC my cpu to 4+GHz, tell me

and i don't think I need the M.2 ssd for now, a Samsung Evo is enough for me, cheaper = better

Also, if I will take i7 6700k instead of the i7 5820k, How much will be the difference ?

If you can give me a good build that cost 1500$ or less with gtx 1080, that will be great.

thank you for the suggestion but i don't see a big difference in the price between the two, so I talked the better performance.

 

[chizrah]

The 5820k costs quite a bit more than the 6700k, however there is very little benefit in games. I'd make you a 6700k build but I'm out at the moment. Also, X99 boards tend to be quite expensive, but I'd recommend the ASUS X99 Deluxe lineup or the MSI X99 SLI Plus.

OK I will w8.

I fixed the solution.

Changed your system to i7 6700K

A bit more tuning, close to the way I'd do it.

i7 5820k, Total: $1878.15
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/QQY7hq

everything is the same except the CPU + mobo + RAM
So, I think there is no big difference in the price to take i7 6700k over the i7 5820k, am I right or there is something I couldn't see?

 

[chizrah]

In that case, fair enough, go for the 5820k. It'll perform better.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

If this is a gaming mostly or entirely, the i7 6700K will be a little faster and a little cooler. It should run at 4.7Ghx (ish). The 5380K should run at 4.4 Ghz (ish) and there is a 5% ir so generational advantage to the i7 6700K and slightly faster memory.

If video or photo editing or rendering is something you do or might want to do, the i7 5280K is better.

If you live near a Microcenter, they have good 'walk-in' deals on the 5280k.

You could drop down to a 750W PSU or even less.

can i run 2xSLI GTX 1080 with 750w ?

and about the Microcenter, I don't have one in my city. I will depend on my luck and ebay.

In the end, I want to thank All of you for helping and teaching me.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Not and overclock them and the CPU, for that you need at least 850W at 180W per GPU and somewhat over 200W for the CPU. You have yet to mention 2x SLI.

Actually, I didn't plan for the 2x SLI but you know in the future I might do that. instead of buying a new 1080 ti for 4k, I can do better by SLI 2x 1080

 

[DonkeyOatie]

That's fine. Its a tough choice. Selling on the old 1080 and replacing it with a 1080ti might be a possibility too.
