6900k or 6850K for new PC

Thanks for the info about the 900D.

I was actually just looking at some cases and I do quite like the In Win 909 (Silver) so I will watch some reviews on that case.
 
Yeah I have seen that case before, my worry with something like that would be the hair from my boxer dogs getting inside as I believe its an open case.
 
Thanks for the suggestions :)

I have no problem waiting a little while as I want no regrets, I will check out some caselabs reviews.

Also I have decided to take peoples advice and drop down to 32gb of ram.

Did the OP pretty much ignore everything anyone said in this thread? No point asking for advice if you're not gonna use any of it.

No I did not ignore people, Switched out PSU to a recommended one, changed to 32gb of ram, read through the thread!

For just gaming I'd get the 6700k, then save the rest of the money ready for a 1080ti in a few months :)

Well when I planned this pc in a store Configurator they had the 6800k, 6850k, 6900k and the 6950x as choices.

But I am not up to date on CPU's so figured the 6800k might not be as good.

I read through and pretty much saw you ignoring solid advice.

I was not ignoring them or the advice given, I appreciate what people have said and the time it has taken them to respond to me. but as I am well within my rights to disregard some of it as it was not strictly in context to my question about 2 SPECIFIC CPU's.

And since then I have made some changes like I said to the amount of RAM and the PSU, that is hardly ignoring people is it.

Hi Angilion, thanks for the suggestion, I am still undecided on the case and will be keeping my options open for now.

With the changes I have made to the PC spec it now looks like this. I have also changed my mind and decided to go for the 6850k.
The Audio section I have removed from the list because this is non-negotiable, I have played the guitar for over 25yrs and sound is very important to me, plus I have actually tested that sound set-up and it was amazing.

CASE: Undecided

MOBO: Asus ROG Rampage v Edition 10

*CPU: Intel 6850k (OVERCLOCKED)

CPU COOLER: Corsair Hydro h115i

*RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LED 2666mhz

GFX: SLI MSI Geforce gtx 1080 Seahawk X (AIO watercooled)

*PSU: EVGA SuperNova P2 1200W

SSD (OS): Samsung 256GB SM961 M.2 SSD

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

OPTICAL DRIVE: Internal or External Blue-Ray & DVD (depends on case)

LIGHTS: NZXT Hue & RGB color changing dual channel internal led controller

OS: Windows 10

I think I am happy with this spec, and thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction.
 
Well I am pretty happy with my spec now, as for helping someone else I am doing that already as my wife decided I would be helping Kitchen/bathroom fitters lol.

6850K = £575.99 [ocuk price]

6700K = £329.99 [ocuk price]

Price difference = £246

Midian, I want you to now come up with a valid non emotionally charged reason why you want the 6850K over the 6700K?

And why you are willing to pay £246 more for less performance whilst Gaming?

You stated in the opening post this build is exclusively for Gaming.

I look forward to your response :)

Well the reason I did not mention the 6700k as it was not in the configurator for the original spec I used for the pc. I have said in this forum that I am not really that much of a tech guy, I try to keep up on some things not all.

And to be honest I do not have to justify any decision I make to you, If I want to spend £245 more of my own money on something I will do mate. I do not see how it affects you.

There have been some great suggestions in this thread and I appreciate them all, but if I was to do every single one of them I would have about 7 cases, 6 CPU,s Ect.

My build has changed quite a bit and I am happy, apparantly you are not, but that is life.
 
1. I never said there was any emotion to the CPU.
2. My initial question was about 2 CPU's, A or B and what one out of either of those would be best for gaming.
3. At no point during my initial question did I actually ask anyone to critique my build
 
People need to stop mentioning my nan, it is insensitive considering the situation.

I am trying to do something nice and for the right reasons, I could not care less if you like it or not.

I am happy with my build and grateful to the kind souls who offered advice to me and who were polite and respectful to me whilst doing so.

I have asked for this thread to be closed, because it is starting to get me down now.
 
You know what, from now on, I am not going to be looking at this forum, I am done with it.
There are some people in this community that could do with a lesson in manners and humility, and need to learn to respect people choices.

You've been more rude, aggressive and disrespectful than anyone else in this thread. That's why I made my initial response so carefully placatory - I was drawing on my experience working the door at a club and dealing with people being difficult by using speech to de-escalate the situation.

I disagree as I think some people could have chose their words more carefuly, and maybe in responce I could have as well.

The place where I was thinking of getting the PC built did not have the 6700k as a choice in the configurator, I did mentioned that a few times.

However people definately seem to want me to go for the 6700k so I will go for it and get the PC from someplace else, now I need to rethink my build it seems. and work out what RAM I should get and what motherboard.
 
Ok so taking in some of the advice given , is the kind of spec I should be going for.

Case: Undecided

CPU: 6700k

Motherboard: Maximus VIII Formula

RAM: 16gb G.Skill Trident Z

PSU: EVGA Supernova 1000

GPU: SLI MSI Geforce gtx 1080 Seahawk X (AIO watercooled)

SSD (OS): Samsung 256GB SM961 M.2 SSD

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

OPTICAL DRIVE: Internal or External Blue-Ray & DVD (depends on case)

LIGHTS: NZXT Hue & RGB color changing dual channel internal led controller

OS: Windows 10

Anyone see any glaring problems with that set up?
 
I get that and do appreciate it, and I have also thanked everyone for taking the time to respond to my thread.

The end of the day words can sometimes be misinterpreted, and the tone of them mistaken. In my view I have seen some of the posts as out of order, specifically the ones that mentioned my nan in a way that I found was sarcastic. When a family member is lost recently things can be a bit raw.

but as you can see, I am taking everyones advice and I am going for the 6700, see above your post :)
 
B4Z, That is fine mate, I am not getting into it anymore it is just not helpful.

My build is now this, and I never at any point said I came to this conclusion by myself.

Case: Undecided

CPU: 6700k

Motherboard: Maximus VIII Formula

RAM: 16gb G.Skill Trident Z

PSU: EVGA Supernova 1000

GPU: SLI MSI Geforce gtx 1080 Seahawk X (AIO watercooled)

SSD (OS): Samsung 256GB SM961 M.2 SSD

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

SSD: 1tb Samsung 850 Evo

OPTICAL DRIVE: Internal or External Blue-Ray & DVD (depends on case)

LIGHTS: NZXT Hue & RGB color changing dual channel internal led controller

Ok Some of things people have said in this thread and the way they have said it has offended me, there is nothing I can do about that.

But what I can do something about is my own actions, So I apologise to anyone who has taken offence to anything I have said.
