New Crimbo Build

[Raviolay]

I am going to build my son a PC for his big present this Christmas and have decided to use most of my current rigs parts, other than the mobo as it needs to be a mini-itx. I was wondering is there was going to be anything released before Christmas (at least a couple of weeks) CPU wise (Intel or AMD). Or should I just stump up for something in current Intel line up.


I will be looking to spend around 700 for a processor, motherboard and DDR4.

Will that come in 6 core?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x MSI X99A XPower Gaming Titanium Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 EATX Motherboard= £349.99
• 1 x Intel i7-6800K 3.40GHz (Broadwell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80671I76800K)= £389.99

Total: £739.98
(includes shipping: £0.00)
​

​

Looking at this for my PC, will have to go to a competitor for the LGA 1150 mini-itx board. For my current processor to be housed in for my sons PC.

TBH I am going to get a 480 to replace my nano that will go into my son's SFF PC. The 480 will tide me over til Vega, and then the 480 will will then go to my son. And I will sell the nano methinks . I think will go hexa core just because I have bought nothing but quad-core. Just got to wait till another payday or two before I can "pull the trigger" as they say.
