Hey all. First time posting here and I am in need of some help! I am still decideing between the i7 6800k and the i7 6850k but either way I need help picking a motherboard.
The build is going to be used for gaming, Twitch streaming, and making YouTube videos.
I only really have experience with Asus boards and don't know where to begin if I were to look at other ones. The three I am looking at are the Asus Rampage V Extreme, Asus x99 Deluxe II, and the Asus ROG x99 Strix. I have read mixed reviews on all of them and just want some insight on which would pair best with the 6800k/6850k.
Also if anyone has any input on 6800k or the 6850k that would be appreciated as well. I do not intend to SLI and I know other than 3.4 GHz vs. 3.6 GHz that the only difference is the number of PCIe Lanes, would this matter if I do not intend to SLI? Would there be any other reason to get the 6850k?
Thanks in advance for any help!
