Hello,

Im building a new PC for university, here is the specs:

CPU
i7 6700k
MOTHERBOARD
Asus maximus viii hero alpha z170
CPU COOLER
Corsair H100i GTX liquid cooler
MEMORY
G.skill trident Z series 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 2800Mhz
STORAGE
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB ssd
WD 3TB Blue edition
GPU
Asus STRIX GTX 980Ti 6gb
POWER
EVGA Supernova 750 G2
CASE
NZXT H440 white case

I mainly use it for rendering 3d architecture models, 3dsmax , cad, photoshop, etc only minor gaming! Was juggling between the sabertooth z170 Mark 1 due to its durability but not sure?

is this a good choice? thanks for reviewing!

I would look at a 5820k build instead. The price would be quite similar, and is better suited for the tasks at hand.

I would look at a 5820k build instead. The price would be quite similar, and is better suited for the tasks at hand.

So I looked into the 5820k build,

x99 Sabertooth and 5820k! some questions
how much of a difference is the 6700k and 6520k quad core vs hex core, 20%? 30% better?
is 5820k efficient? since it was debuted in 2014? vs the newer 6700k? also heard the new broad well-e is coming out 6800k hexacore as well. Just throw all the pros and cons
Is it worth the wait? or basically the same thing?

oh and what does it mean when I hear from someone 4 fast cores will beat 6 slow cores? what will this mean for me and my requirements?

Its a $130 dollar difference for me to go with the x99 and 5820k, worth? I wouldn't mind paying

If you can wait, I would wait for Broadwell-E. More cores/threads are useful for what you want to do. You may get 6 cores, but you get 12 threads, vs 8 threads of the 6700k. You don't need such an expensive board either.

But if your looking in to gaming in new API that use's more core like DX12 then you should go with a Hexcore its 50£ more and 4more threads even for now you can turn off 2 of the core's and clock them up to get near same perf as the 6700k, also the Hexcore has solder instead of paste for better Temp perf.

And once the time cores for games using the nexgen api's then you can turn them babies on and get more perf 😀.

but just remember the 980ti is build for DX11 and amd card would be better for nextgen API but you can always wait, if your on the green team, you should wait for them to catch up or use an old card for now but this is in terms of gaming
