i need help please

[gtxyyy]

i want to build a new PC with the gtx 1080.

should i buy the intel i7-5820K or the i7- 6700K ?

 

[Ryan_78]

well do you have a budget? also what is your purpose for the PC?

 

[Rabmac]

For gaming both these CPUs are viable and will provide great gaming performance. That being said the i5 is probably a better option for gaming because it is much cheaper and the i7 suffers from diminishing returns (i.e. you gain small increase in performance for a big jump in price).

 

[PeppermintFangs]

If you're only gaming, I'd recommend the i5 4690 (or the 4690k if you're looking to overclock). You absolutely WILL NOT use all of its power in any modern triple A titles - in fact, you wouldn't use an i5 4460's power.

If, however, you plan on using your PC for more CPU intensive tasks like video editing or something of the sort, I'd recommend the 6700k.

there are games that require overclocked i5's to get decent fps


like arma

he got budget and the PC is for gaming and GFX editing

the question is between 6700k and 5820K... i dont know which one to pick

 

[Hlsgsz]

5820k if you can afford it.

 

[gtxyyy]

5820k if you can afford it.

may i ask why?

 

[Hlsgsz]

5820k if you can afford it.

may i ask why?

2 extra cores and 4 extra threads. Everything work related will be faster.
As for gaming, those extra cores help with streaming, for example. And it can be overclocked to reach single thread performance similar to the 6700k.

wow thank you man!!! my friend will build this computer with the ASUS STRIX gtx 1080! ty so much bro.

 

[Rabmac]

Not sure about that monitor for graphics editing. If they are doing just as hobby then it is fine but if they are doing it as a business then it is insufficient (very good for gaming though)

Would also consider 16GB more RAM for graphics editing. If they have a lot of images and they are high resolution you may want to think about a larger HDD as well.

 

[Alan Caldwell]

You are welcome.

and what about the cpu ? the gfx editing is for hobby for right now...
should he take the 5820K or 6700K?

 

[Alan Caldwell]

The 6700k will suffice. This monitor should do well.

 

[geofelt]

For gaming, the i7-6700K is about the best you can buy today.
Few games can use more than 2-3 cores, hence the I5(with an overclock) recommendation from others.
The extra 4 hyperthreads of the i7 will no be used for gaming.

However, with your budget, I recommend the I7-6700K. At stock, it has a higher clock rate so no overclocking is required.
The clocks on the 5820K 6 core are at 3.3; the i7-6700k are at 4.0(stock) and the performance per clock of the i7-6700K is marginally better.
Most games are heavily dependent on a few fast cores.
And... for editing, the i7 hyperthreads will be useful for most apps.

Buy a Z170 motherboard to permit overclocking.

With a G-sync IPS monitor, AIO cooler for overclocking the CPU and everything.

 

[Alan Caldwell]

The i7 6700k will suffice IMO, better for gaming, but if you feel like going for the i7 5820k.

A monitor without adaptive-sync in this budget? I'm guessing you haven't tried G-sync yourself
And a dual-channel kit on 2011? Hmm..

 

[Alan Caldwell]

It's the OP's choice. G-sync isn't needed IMO. More ram can be added in the future.
