So I've been trying to convince my friend to build a PC, and I finally did if I sell him my SLI 970s, i5 4690k, 16gb of ram and asus Z-97a for $700. With this money (and more) I'm going to upgrade my rig. I'm going to buy a GTX 1080, but I'm still unsure of which CPU to get. I have a 1440p 144hz monitor that I use for gaming, and a 1080p 60hz monitor I use for watching videos or browsing the web in between matches. I know that most games can only make use of 4 cores, but will a 6 core cpu like a 6800k make a difference in a two monitor set up? I want to future proof my rig, and ddr3 is on the way out, so obviously I need a cpu and mobo that uses ddr4. What do you guy suggest?
 
Thanks for the help guys... I bought the 6800k and couldn't be happier. I get nearly max framerate in every game, and rarely ever see it dip below 100 fps.
 


Did you actually get any replies? im actually looking at running the exact same setup
