Hi fellow forum members
It has been a while since I did my upgrade. Current running a i5 2500K @ 4.4ghz, 8GB ram, GTX1060.
I have decided to go for a i7 since I will stream abit here and there, and maybe in the near future games will benefit from the more threads.
So I have nailed it down to the 5820K and the 6700K, leaning abit more towards the 5820K, since maybe in the near future we will benefit from more cores. The price difference between the 2 is like 50 euro , being the 5820K is more expensive. I just orientated the boards seems the Z170 is cheaper compared to the X99.
But oh my there are so many boards out there and I have been away for long time in this forum.
Which motherboard brand/model do you recommend for respectively 6700k and 5820k?
I will run it on air ( noctua NH-U14S or D-15, depending on the board) and overclock it.
Other things to consider I will probably run a Samsung 950 pro ssd, the 960 series are announced but they probably abit ouf of my budget so are the Intel 750 series. Looking at the 512GB for my needs. Tho a bare minimum of 250 should do , since thats what I use atm for the last 5 years for OS + games.
For the audio I use a dedicated USB DAC.
