Questions about new pc build.

[Caleb D]

Hey everyone, I am getting ready for my first build but I have some questions. First off, I need to know if my psu is good enough to do some over clocking in the future. I also would like to know if this system will be able to run today's and tomorrows games maxed out at 1080p. I also welcome critique on my parts. What do you think about skylake? About my psu? My cpu? Here's the link to my part list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bd8KwP

It will be able to run everything, however if it is mainly for gaming then you should drop the 6700k in favour of a 6600k. Also your PSU is big enough to handle overclocking, even crossfire.

I agree with Gingerbread, the i7 6700k offers very little gaming performance gains over the cheaper i5 6600k. I would swap those and use the money saved to upgrade your GPU to a 980Ti or add an SSD boot drive.

I forgot to mention I will also be doing some video rendering. I did the math and if I were to upgrade to the 980ti I would still be around $100 short even after the savings. Also, isnt the xfx card better or about the same as the 980ti?

Ok the i7 will benefit you during video rendering in which case your build looks quite solid. There's not much raw performance differences between the two cards's but the 980Ti is much more efficient and the drivers are more stable.
