Decided to upgrade from my 2009 i7 860 to a new / faster PC.
Not used for gaming - I do more high end CAD, video processing and FFT's.
Not into overclocking and high frame rates etc - just want stable raw processing power
Thinking about a Z170 Asus motherboard and a Skylake 6700 processor combined with 32GB memory - not sure about speed and number of modules (2x16GB or 4 x 8GB) ??
Also want to drive a couple of high resolution 30" or 32" (2560 x 1440) screens - so not sure about what video card option to go for ??
Two SSD's one for data and one for OS - probably 960GB and 500GB respectively
I think a stock cooler would be ok - but it seems they don't come with the processor these days ??
Guess PSU size would be determined largely by video card adapter needs ?
Got £2000 including VAT to play with - more if needed.
Any thoughts / suggestions ?
