Hey try this,

you can click the link below to view the stuff and buy/purchase, and for the heck of it i threw in network cards and an optical drive and case fans just for an example full-ish build, you already have your own graphics card and case and storage so if you toss those in thats about the extent of the build, if you already have the optical drive and other stuff you can always remove them.

Thanks for the reply's guys , what do you think would be a better investment for the next 4 years ? That quad core with DX12 support and higher clock speed or the 6 cores no DX12 support and lower clock speeds..... don't like to take OC clocking into the factor only have it as a last resort if needed in a few years

The DX12 support for the 6700k is for the igpu which you wont be using, the 5820k has no igpu which is why it doesnt list dx support. Out of the box the 6700k is faster gaming cpu since it has stronger cores. Once games start using more treads then it will even out more as the 5820k can process 12 threads to the 6700k's 8. With a single 980ti I doubt there be a noticeable difference between the 2.

More likely the newer 6th gen 6700k 4 core would last you longer, the less strain you have on a pc the longer it will last. And its absolutely more than enough for any gaming.

Pretty much my whole build is a good way for u to go, youll definetly stay under a thousand with it. And i know youll see 4 years mininum with it
