I am in the process of building a new PC for myself and there are some things that I am uncertain about, mainly which CPU (5820K vs 5930K) and which motherboard (MSI X99A Mpower vs MSI X99A SLI Plus) should I use given what I plan to do with my system.
GOALS OF MY SYSTEM
1. I plan to overclock the CPU to 4,5Ghz and at some point in the future, the GPU and maybe the RAM as well.
2. I want it to be a super fast for various multi-tasking requirements.
3. In the future I plan to run a 2-way SLI setup along with a fully functional M2 PCIe x4 (for my OS)
4. I plan to use the PC for videography (making, editing and uploading videos), photography, gaming, streaming and a few other similar operations.
The currently setup that I am planning to build is the following:
PHANTEKS Enthoo Primo
MSI X99A Mpower OR MSI X99A SLI Plus
Intel Core i7 5930K OR 5820K
G.Skill RipJaws 4 black DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-2800
Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming 6 GB
Samsung SSD SM951 256GB, M.2 - PCIe
Samsung SSD 850 Evo 500GB, SATA (possible raid 1 in the future)
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1000W
MS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (EN)
(Custom water-cooling will be used and will be upgraded in the future for a themed build.)
The 2 questions that I really can’t figure out are:
1. Is it really worth going for the 5930K processor and paying an extra 200€ for the extra 12 PCIe lanes and the extra 0,2 GhZ for my system given what I plan to do & given the motherboards that I want to use with it? Or am I better off saving 200€ and getting the 5820K instead?
2. Which motherboard is really better for what I want to do? Does it really make any difference between the MSI X99A Mpower and MSI X99A SLI Plus? The only difference that I have found is that the Mpower has a 12 voltage regulator and the SLI Plus has 8 and is slightly cheaper.
Any help & Feedback is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
