An i5-6600k overclocked to 4.5GHz is about equal to a stock i7-6700k. The i5 with the H60 is slightly cheaper than the i7 while dealing the same performance, but I can always slap on a cooler on the i7 and overclock that in the future. I understand that the i7 will last me longer, but I don't...

My apologies. I am known at times to state my personal opinion in a sort of rude and unthoughtful manner. I'm not the biggest "fan" of Noctua, but I should've stated that before in my list of preferences.

I do appreciate your help along with everyone else's. If I didn't, why would I be here making multiple threads to get people's help in the first place? I have multiple threads because many new ideas and such come to light, and getting the help of those more informed and knowledgeable of the...

No I have not bought my components yet. My build is for productivity as well as gaming, so that's why it has a heavy price. I will NOT be going with the 390x, but rather the RX 480 when it's released. I do not plan on buying anything for at least 4 months. I am super hyped for the Polaris line...

After watching some benchmark videos I decided to go with a Skylake build. PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jCyYJV Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jCyYJV/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.99 @ Newegg) CPU...

So I've been doing research for about six months on an ultimate PC build that'll do anything I'd ever want. Before I start anything let me clarify that I'm in no rush AT ALL to begin building, and I will likely be going with the RX 480 when it's released on the 29th. I will be answering the...

Ah thank you. Anyways yes about 24 hours ago they leaked some benchmarks where the 480 did indeed surpass the 390x and 980 and almost getting up to the R9 Fury (non-X). Of course there's no way of knowing if these benchmarks are 100% true, but hopefully they are because I really want to save...

So yeah, I'm an AMD GPU fanboy (Intel CPUs FTW). I'm currently looking at the R9 390x, but the 480's going to be cheaper and going to outperform it, so obviously when it comes out I'll be on top of that (resisting a "your mom" pun). I do have a question about it though. They said it's going to...

I'll wait for the 480x. I really think it'll be better than the 390x. AMD is stating that it'll have performance near the R9 Nano. I don't believe that, but as I said I think it'll out perform the 390x for a lower price. AMD has always been the kind of dirt cheap budgets and I respect that.

Updates build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vc3hPs I really wanted to get decent fans that matched my color theme, but I guess you can't win them all. I looked at all of your recommendations and made a lot of improvements. After debating it for a while I decided it would better suit my needs...

System Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jGJhPs Inspiration to make a black/blue setup was from Ed from TechSource and his black/red setup. I'm answering the questions from this thread; http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=80121 My build will primarily be used for gaming and...

Logitech is fairly known for making fake surround sound headsets, but these actually have 3 drivers per can. I know the headphones I chose aren't the best, but I'm not really the type of person to spend $400-500 on a pair of headphones. I think it's more convenient and wallet friendly this way...

The pair of ATH M50x headohones are one of the most popular studio-grade audio monitoring headphones. I got rid of the ModMic and decided with the Roccat Kave XTD because of the true 5.1 surround sound and the mic. I read reviews and they suit my needs perfectly. The point of surround sound...

I plan on just recording vocals for songs and video game theories. Is the Audio Technica AT2020U with a pop filter good enough to suit my needs in your opinion? I know the USB version can't use an audio interface but I don't plan on recording instruments so I thinks it's good. If it is fine...

Updated build; http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XDJQjX The E-Blue chair has a lot of excellent reviews and people say that it's good for 10+ hours of gaming. I did a little research and they use E-Blue chairs for Esports tournaments and other gamig events in Japan. Also Ed from Techsource has a...
