Hi guys, I'd appreciated if you could give me some ideas for my new build. I have bought Asus Sabertooth X99 and Intel 750 series NVMe 400GB SSD(I heard this combo is really fast). And my new EVGA GTX Titan X Hybrid is on its way. I'll use it for gaming mainly, occasionally I'll use it for 4K movies.

What CPU and Memory are the best choices here to maximize the potential of this mother board? Thanks.

Kevin

Go for the i7 5820K or if you want the extra performance, go for the i7 5930K. For ram, go for the G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-2400 16GB dual channel ram kit. Switch to 8GB ram if you have a tighter budget. If you are not comfortable with the ram choices I gave you, Crucial and Kingston make great ram kits.

If you plan on SLIing, buy at least the Intel Core i7 5930K as it has full 40 PCIE Lanes compared to the 28 Lanes in the Intel Core i7 5820K. I'd get the I7 5820K and G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4 RAM.
