Hello there boiZ, have few questions about, which one cpu is the best for this gpu and why.

I'm getting new Gtx 980 ti, now which one is best and why ? ( Gigabyte G1, MSI or Asus ) ?

Now cpu, best to pair with this 980 ti ? i7 4790k or something else ?

Also, Motherboard ? z97 or others ( like z170 )

Most of the time, im playin games and stream. Fallout 4 / CSGO / Dota 2 and so on ... Stream should be high quality @60 fps . Tnx

fear if you have not order the parts yet and are looking for input the best rig for the money will be one of the newer pascal gpu in 2016 with an 1151 i7 mb. if you have a lot of money to toss in a rig then i would wait for the skylake e cpu with intel there going to use another mb pin count so that the older e mb wont work.

Really, all GTX980ti cards will be great performers.
I like evga as a brand, they have good support.
You get fair value from the factory overclocked versions.
I do not think the liquid cooled or classified versions are worth the trouble.

With Skylake now available, there is absolutely no question in my mind that a new build should be Skylake.
Particularly for a high end build.
a. Prices for cpu, z170 motherboard and ddr4 ram are almost precisely the same.
b. I7-6700K has an estimated 5-10% performance improvement per clock over haswell.
c. 14nm runs cooler, you get a decent overclock without the need for exotic cooling.
d. The Z170 chipset permits the use of much faster ssd devices on the horizon. Samsung 950 pro for example:

No need for more than 2400 speed 1.2v dddr4 ram.
Buy at least a 16gb 2 x 8gb ram kit for high levels of multitasking.

If i get 6700, then i'll have to go with Z170 MSI/Asus and if i go with i7 4790k i can choose like XX MB's on the market . Z170 supports only DDR4 and others DDR3 . As far as i saw, in my country, DDR 3/4 are basicly the same and costs the same... Still dont know what to do ...
