Hey, I'm trying to decide between a x99 Build and a z170 Build.
x99 Build:
https://au.pcpartpic...ed/#view=XXvMnQ
z170 Build:
https://au.pcpartpic...ed/#view=KFG8TW
(*note the MoBo will be the Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha not the Standard Hero)
I plan to use the system for gaming with the potential to stream and get into content creation in the future. I will be dropping in another 980 Ti for SLI in the near future and after that turn the system into a custom liquid cooled rig. I'm unsure whether to go with the x99 or z170 because I'm unsure what will fulfil my needs better and will be more future proof.
I like the x99 because it has more cores so if I get into content creation will be able to render better, but I like the fact the z170 has USB 3.1 connectors and this build will fit my colour scheme better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
