You are going to want a Haswell-E or wait for Broadwell/Skylake-E as that is the enthusiast series of processors. They will provide you the most ridiculous stats. Other than that, I agree with the above poster completely.

If you want Dual gpu setup , i think you must go with intel haswell-e CPU, to have more cores and pci-e lance.
And for the GPU choice i would go with 2x r9 390x , i know the gtx 980 ti sli will be around 10% faster and wil consume les power , but the GCN architecture wil give a massive advantage over the gtx 980 ti in the new directx 12 and Vulcan based games.


sorry my enlish is verry poor im from the Nederlands 😀

I included a case in all builds just for the saftey of knowing it's fine. Especially the last build which uses an E-ATX motherboard!

 

[GlennyDMB]

If you are ever feeling like you get bored with the look, upgrade to custom water cooling. It is a super fun hobby and makes the PC look so awesome.
