Care to share some of your planned specs?


I'm going with 16GB of DDR4 for memory, likely an i7-5820K (the 5930K is twice as costly and I won't be needing the extra 12 PCIe lanes, performance is more than good enough with the 5820K as well). I was thinking of getting a GTX 980 for graphics, not decided on which version but if the recent rumors from AMD are anywhere near true; I'd be a fool not to consider them, despite the likelihood of more noise, higher wattage and some driver issues from time to time, great performance at a fair price is something to be valued greatly and I've never had reliability issues with my AMD cards either (they even overclock pretty well since the 1900 series). I will not be running SLI or Crossfire; too many issues and it would require the more costly CPU and expensive motherboard and bring the total up by at least 50-60% when counting a second GPU.

I also want a new display, been wanting a 1440p, 32" one for some time but there is no sense in getting it before I have the horsepower to utilize it. My plan is to be ready for The Witcher 3 at ultra with great FPS, I imagine my life will be complete then...

 

Ah, I see. All great components! Do you have an estimated cost yet, or are there still build plans that impede with final estimations?
