Greetings!

I'm building a new rig, purely for gaming at Ultra settings (though only on 1080 for now) with the following parts:

INTEL I7 6700K (Of course, OC'ing on the cards!)
MSI Z170A POWER MOTHERBOARD
G-SKILL 8GB*2=16GB RAM(2133MHZ)
COOLER MASTER 431PLUS MID-CABINET (+ 4 120mm fans)
COOLER MASTER SEIDO 120V WATER COOLING

I will be getting an Asus 980Ti in a couple of months, till then the existing Asus 670 would have to suffice.

Rest of the parts would come from the existing rig (see sig?)

As always, appreciate the help in advance!

Thanks for the response. :) Will definitely keep you posted. Am hoping to reach 4.8-4.9 on the CPU, let's see.

As for the PSU, I bought it only last year, so am hopeful it will last the while. Really need to save money for the GPU!

So the rig is up and running! I've managed to push it up to 5GHz, no problems for the past 30 mins. Hope it stays the way! Now getting my hands on an Asus 980ti Strix....hope it's a killer from there! :)

Mind, the mobo is now an MSI Gaming M7, and the RAM is now DDR4 at 2666....rest is the same.

Just thought I'd update the good folks here!

One question though: The voltage has been amped up to 1.43v....is that a problem over long sessions?
