Need help picking parts for new gaming pc

[Dreadrotz]

In the next few weeks I'm going to build a new gaming pc with a budget of $1500 and I need help picking parts the games I mainly play are wow league ffxiv and overwatch. I would like to play these on max setting and stream them and maybe do a bit of video editing.

only need the tower
would like a 500GB SSD(reusing the my 3x 1TB drives)
I have a 850w PSU from my old pc

I like this cpu case and cooler but they are not mandatory
Intel Core i7-5820K
Corsair H100i GTX
MasterCase Pro 5

For the games you want to play/stream it doesn't make much sense to go above this:

But you can use the rest of the money with a strong graphic's card, I'd recommend a Nano. Cooler was a personal preference because I don't like AIOs, more things to go wrong when you have a liquid inside your computer. And yes the 5820K is the best CPU for your usage, great call.

One thing about the define S Artorious as I have that case, when installing 3 HDDs just like the OP is intending to, the cable management for that is HELL or at the least not easy but was not enjoyable as you start to get to a point a lot of cables cluttering a small area and fearing for the sata connecters themselves, otherwise its a very easy case to work with outside of that.

I would say get the R5 which is something I should of done to start with considering I have 3 HDDs and 2 SSDs now.

[Dreadrotz]

Thanks Artoruis this build looks great seeing that I am a bit under budget could you recommend a PSU I was going to get a newer one later but I can get it now
also Thorianrage I will take the R5 into consideration

[Remilia]

I have the R5, it's pretty damn nice. It's not an issue to me with cabling, granted I suck and/or don't give a shit about it, so there's that. Running 2 SSDs / 5 HDDs / 1 ODD.

Put a better mobo and the different case:

Not really sure you'll ever need the better mobo but you still have budget left and it's not that much more expensive so yeah.

Here's another suggestion, if gaming is your main thing with the occasional video editing then an i7 6700k is newer socket even tho not a 6-core, which you don't need anyway. Will also be faster out of the box.

A 980ti? Today? Really?

[Artorius]

2011-V3 accepts Broadwell-E CPUs just fine, the socket argument is invalid. You essentially gave him a way worse CPU for what he does, even if occasionally, that doesn't really increase gaming performance by any considerable amounts (like... 1~2 fps?) and a graphic's card that doesn't offer any future proofing.

If it's to go higher in price the best option would be to notch the motherboard down again and put a Nano.

Well if he wants to buy today and not wait for a few months for new ones, then yeah he can afford it.

On the contrary there is nothing to support getting a 6core, what for? the ocassional video rendering? The i7 6700k will be just fine for that too. So who is my argument invalid again when he doesn't need a 5820k? 0 benefits in gaming and by your claims and reasoning there is no reason to overclock either for a few fps gains, right?

Your socket argument is invalid, it doesn't make any difference. OP won't need a new CPU regardless of the 6700K or the 5820K anytime soon, when he does he'll buy a new mobo entirely because the current socket will be another one. And even if you say "oh but Skylake's socket will receive a new line!!" yeah so does 2011-V3.

Giving him less performance overall for multitasking and his video editing for no reason isn't a good option when you can for almost the same price go with the 5820K, the gaming performance difference is negligible but for anything that can use all the threads, the six core one will wash the floor with its price competitor.

If we were talking about a meaningful performance difference I would be able to agree with you, maybe, but we aren't. The CPU hardly matters for gaming and at this point the difference is less than meaningless. The only game he plays that CPUs make a difference is WoW and the 5820K will do just fine at it, I'd actually be surprised if there were any difference whatsoever with comparable OCs. That's the only reason why the 5820K is even an option, otherwise (if he wasn't going to OC), we have more price-effective Xeons at the market.

Because a 390x, Fury, Fury X or Nano are better.......

Honestly i just think otherwise. I am not saying the 5820k is a bad choice, i am only saying it won't make a difference for gaming and hardly anyone needs 6core for multitasking, not your average user anyway. Even an i3 is fine for gaming atm. A 4+4 is certainly adequate and you don't really have to overclock that i7 6700k with a 4.2Ghz turbo, its ready out of the box. Again options op can weight more one option or the other.

Because a 390x, Fury, Fury X or Nano are better.......

Nano sure but Fury/Fury X atm no due to current prices which is why i preferred the 980ti. The fury is like 30-40$ cheaper and we all know which one is better of the two and fury X is close to 600$. The nano is not that much cheaper either 70-80$. But when you can get the best card atm i don't see the reason why not. Obviously as i said if you can wait for new the cards, sure that is a better option.

[Artorius]

Only OCd 980Tis are better than the Fury X at dx11, and they all lose to it at dx12. But yeah whatever, better to just wait and see how things will turn.
