Oh I hear ya.

If you have the money, don't care about wasting it & want to go completely overkill.....
Why not look to Broadwell-E? i7-6800K gets you 6 Cores + HT, 6850K gets you a little higher clock speed, 6900K is 8 cores + Ht, the 6950X gets you 10+HT (although they are substantially more expensive).

Everything will work together. By the way from one 750d user to another, the optical drive will look ugly. Because of how wide the case is, the 5.25inch bays dont go all the way to the sides and looks extremely ugly imo. I personally use a usb dvd drive for the few times I need one, that way the front of my case looks nice
 
Everything is compatible & will "work", but there's a lot of overkill in there.

1. 64GB RAM? Unless you're a heavy content creator, it's unlikely you'll touch anywhere close to that. 32GB would be more than enough for 99.99% of people. 16GB for the vast majority of people too.

2. 1200W PSU is totally overkill for that setup. 65W CPU, 180Wx2 GPU, ~100ish for the balance. A quality 650-750W PSU would be more than capable..... and can be had for around $80-$100.

Other aspects may also be overkill, but without knowing your intended uses, it's hard to say.
 


Thanks for the answer, but the point of this build, is making it an overkilling machine. As long as it's all good together, I'm happy.
 


Thanks for not suggesting it then, because when I think about it, I am most likely not going to need a dvd drive anyways, so thank you. :)

 


I definitely do realize that. I am doing heavy programming (creating quite large games) and other stuff like modding for different games and so on, and I have met a ton of difficulties with the ram I had earlier. 8GB, so I am just doing a complete overkill now, so I am sure I can be making a few 100 games at a time, without a problem. Kidding, but you get what I mean. :)

I say go for it, if you have the money. Infact my next build will most likely have 64gb high frequency memory. I definitely realize it's over kill now, but it may not be in a few years. That's going to be an awesome build man.

 


Really depends what you're doing with it. For example, if strictly gaming - there's no way any games will utilize 64GB in the useable lifespan of a new i7 today (~7 years or so).

It's taken that long to move from <4GB is the 'norm' and "games don't use more than 4GB" statements, to 8GB being the 'norm' blah..... now games can use >8GB, but still not close to maxing 16GB....making 16GB more of the 'sweet spot' (especially at higher resolutions). I can see either the move to 32GB (ie using a little over 16GB), or some new development in memory utilization in the next decade.... but 64GB (for strictly gaming) is not likely to happen any time even remotely 'soon'. Current, even 'bleading edge' tech will be long obsolete before then.

Content creation etc though, can generally utilize as much memory and CPU cores/threads that you can throw at it - depending on the task/application of course. With increasing resolutions for video, that especially can benefit from 64GB and 6, 8, 10+ cores/theads.
