How epic are the specs???

[Shadowofgaming]

Hello peeps. I will be buying a new pc soon. I am a gamer, and I thought I would just do a complete stupid overkill on a pc. Money is not a problem, which may be why I do this, but I just want to know, if this is insane?

Specs.
CPU: Intel Core I7-5930k.
GPU: x2 GTX 1080.
RAM: 64 GB.
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85M-D3H.
Drive: Samsung 850 EVO 2 TB 2.5 inch.
Power Supply: Corsair AXi Series, AX860i, 860 Watt (860W).
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow full tower.
And so on...

For some other specs.
Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB Rapidfire.
Mouse: Zowie EC2-A.
Monitor is either gonna be 1080p or 144.

What fps would I be on in most games in 1080p?

Make sure to get a monitor that supports G-Sync and 144 MHz. You'll get the smoothest picture that way, up to 144 FPS.
That's a pretty epic system all right. I'd say you're future proofed for the next 8 years. Make sure to do VR at 4K once the technology catches up to you, just to say you can.

This one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Predator-XB240HAbpr-24-inch-Monitor/dp/B00P67ZW3C?ie=UTF8&keywords=Acer%20XB240H&qid=1436071872&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1&tag=amazon0c83-21

I think that would be pretty dope, however, I kind of admire Benq. Could you suggest a Benq monitor?
Do you think that any improvements could be made to my system? I mean, not because it's needed, but just for the fun of overkilling it? ;D

Thank you.

That monitor will do quite nicely.
A full custom loop water cooling system would be completely awesome. Hook it up to both GPUs, the CPU, the RAM, the NB, all linked up to 2 radiators... My mouth is watering. Weird. I'm going to stop now.

For that cpu you'll need an LGA2011-3 motherboard, not a cheap LGA1150 mobo. As far as sli 1080's with that i7 at 1080p, you'll probably have problems with stuttering as most games will be in the 2-300fps or higher bracket, so a 60Hz monitor is out of the question. With that much graphics ability you should be looking at nothing less than 4k.

Good catch on that motherboard.
I agree, 4K is a must. Just wait until 4K@144Hz is possible, you'll be setting the bar for performance.
G-sync will counter the stuttering by limiting the frame rate to 144.
Oh, and here's the Benq you asked for. http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2730Z-Monitor-Resolution-FreeSync/dp/B00TUK9D9K

Maybe you should save some money and get the highest speed internet... And what I learned from playing UBI games is that my computer is only as good as the US West server.

Also a bigger house, beer refrigerator, and better AC since it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere... this would add about $500,000 to the budget.

 

[Shadowofgaming]

I have a budget, that I will be buying some great internet for, so that's no problem. 😛

Karadjgne, may this one do the job? :http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Enthuastic-Z170A-Motherboard-M7/dp/B0131GA4PK/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465127344&sr=1-4&keywords=msi+motherboard

Also, I most likely ain't going for 4k, as I know that it requires a lot, and I know this is a lot, but I just like the ultimate fps. xD

There are several different generations of cpu. Ivy Bridge was lga 1155. Haswell is lga 1150. Skylake is lga 1151. And then there's Haswell Extreme cpus which are lga 2011-3. The i7 you've chosen is a Haswell Extreme (Haswell-E) cpu which has 2011 pins and will only fit in a 2011-3 socket on an lga 2011-3 motherboard. Asus Maximus Hero etc. The Z170 Skylake MSI motherboard will not work at all. It absolutely needs to be LGA 2011-3 / X99 not any other.

This is decent. But for the performance, overpriced. Unless you are heavy into video editing/rendering or other such high ram usage, mote than 16Gb is honestly a waste and you'd get similar performance from a Z170 Skylake build at 1/2 the price.

I would say a better cpu choice would be the new i7-6800k or the 6850k. Both still require an X99 motherboard though with a 2011v3 socket.
