Rate my comp spec

[vanrael]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to build myself a PC for the first time and would like to know what you guys think of my possible build, or if you guys have any suggestions for improvements. The computer would be mainly for gaming and programming/editing therefore would like to have a i7 processor.

Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz LGA 2011-v3
Motherboard: Asus x99-A LGA 2011-v3
Case: Thermaltake Core V71 Extreme
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
HDD: WD Blue 1TB or WD 6TB
Power Supply: EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR 80+ 850w
Cooling: CORSAIR Hydro H80i
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

My budget is around 3k - 3.5k and this setup runs me around 3k so far. (CAD) I already have peripherals so I'm ok there.

Pretty good build, since you have budget left you should get a 500gb ssd, new games have a huge installl size so it wouldnt hurt to have more space. Have you considere getting a i7 6700k ? it would do better in games than the 5820k, while still have good preformance for programming and editing

The motherboard that I picked out supports a cpu socket size of 2011-v3, hence the 5820K. If I went 6700K I'd need to pick out a new motherboard. What would the benefit be of switching over to a 6700K over the 5820K?

Better gaming preformance
