Upgrading rig. Kindly suggest

[ithehappy]

I am letting my system to retire, it has run its course.

I am going for the 5820k, simply because I do not have the budget for 5930k. And I find that 5820k will be better for my needs (gaming mainly, occasional video editing, a powerful CPU anyway), but am I doing anything wrong by choosing a previous generation CPU over latest Skylake? I was waiting for a Hexa core Skylake to release, but my patience has had it.

Anyway, the main thing is which board to get? X99 boards are kind of costly here in India, and I just want a good working board. Asus, or MSI?

I have chosen to go with the DDR4 G-Skill Ripjaws, its pretty cheap.

My total budget is 60000 INR (which Google says about 900 USD at today's exchange rate).

→ 5820k costs 30250 INR

→ Ripjaws at 2400 MHz costs 7000 INR

So that's leaving me about 22500 INR for the motherboard. Now what choice do I have? I just need USB 3.1, and a board which is very well built, don't need much fancy features and all, won't SLI. Will OC, but after a year or so, not now.

I also will buy a cabinet (full sized one) and a decent enough cooler. So I would have to increase my budget I understand, but don't want to increase it that much.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Will my old PSU, the 650TX work with the new system, and also is there any chance the Hyper 212+ might be compatible with it? In that case I will buy a cooler later.

Your old parts should work fine, for now 🙂

What store are you buying from?

You don't need SLI, you don't seem to really have that much need for a true hexacore, and you don't intend to overclock until later on... so you could just cheap out and buy an i7 6700 with a B150 board. 212+ is not compatible with LGA2011v3, but it is compatible with LGA1151. Gaming performance with i7-6700 is practically the same as with 5820K, at least for now.

5820K, X99 board and a new cooler is going to cost a lot more, while not really making a noticeable difference for your use case. Sure, video encoding will be faster with the hexacore but what does it matter for occasional use?

I would get a new power supply though, the TX650 will work but it's getting a little old. Sell it along with the other parts you're going to replace. Corsair RMx series or EVGA G2 series would be a nice replacement.

Why do you want a full tower case? For a system with one graphics card, even a microATX mini tower would be perfectly fine.

God no, God no. That name, As Rock scares the heck out of me bro. I had an As Rock board way back in 06-07 and that took my night's sleep away.

Thanks for informing about the old parts.

No particular store, depending on the items. Maybe Amazon, could be Flipkart or eBay.

Why do I want a full tower case? Well I hate mini cases that's why. When I insert all those power sockets in this CM 690II Plus of mine, I barely get any space to insert my finger to the CPU fan area (just above of the cooler), I barely get any space to plug in the hard disk cables and like that. I need a case where the whole system can breath. It is not about 2 GPUs, but my convenience.
