http://pcpartpicker.com/p/t3mHwP is the link to the Part Picket - I'm not dead lock sold on any part of it, and welcome suggestions, but I have some specific questions:
I primarily hard-core game/Stream and video edit. I am a programmer for work, so I sometimes need to heavy compile/SDL but I usually use my other build for that. That being said - I'm undecided on the 6700K of the 5820K[Forgive me if my number is off - Whichever is the new 6 core]. I'm wondering for input - The rule of thumb I've seen say for gaming, 6700K (Since a lot of games don't make use of hyperthreading) and for OCing go for 6700K due to ease, but 6-core has higher headroom to push the OC. Welcome insight/opinions. [I will be sticking the i7, no matter what.]
The video card, I settled on STRIX over the EVGA OC+ just due to higher base clocks, but the EVGA has 'more' reviews, not really better so torn and welcome input.
The motherboard seemed solid - Just in case in the future I decide to go with 3-way SLI. Maybe when drivers support it better.
RAM - I've been thinking about going lower in frequency just due to options but I also would like to stay somewhere near the upper limit of my mobo.
For the CPU Cooler: Those who use it, how do you set up the fans on it? One pull, one push? Both push? Why?
Thanks for any input, and I welcome any insight. I've built many rigs, but also like other peoples views.
