I am looking to buy a new CPU and motherboard for my 4K gaming PC and am after recommendations
Existing components are:
Nvidea Titan X Pascal
16GB DDR4
Kraken X61
Seasonic 650 PSU
I am having difficulty in deciding on the CPU in particular, between the 6700K, 6800K or 5820K. As this is a gaming PC, I was under the impression to get the fastest clock speed as opposed to number of cores, but with Direct X 12 is this likely to change? I would like to run this CPU for at least a couple of years without upgrade, so am keen on future-proofing where possible.
The board I am looking at is the Asus Sabretooth X99, bringing that price down a bit would be nice, but I have a themed black and white ATX build which limits me somewhat.
If anyone can provide some advise I would be grateful
