i5-6600k + 1070 SLI OR i7-6700k + 1070

ispendwaytomuchtimeongames · Sep 5, 2016

Hey, I'm building my first pc so I need help with choosing between a i5-6600k with 1070 SLI, or i7-6700k with only one 1070. This computer will purely be for gaming and normal web browsing, so I want the choice that will give me better overall gaming performance. Also, I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas for how to keep my pc cool with either option, and estimated power supply.

Thanks!!

I5 6600k GTX 1080 REASON IS sli don't always give you 100% scaling in some games you wont even get 1 fps with 2 gpus vs 1

a gtx 1080 will give you 20 to 30 % over a single gtx 1070

over all the single best gpu you can buy

a good tier 1 PSU with 550W is plenty if OCing the cpu and why not if your going for the K series cpu

I would go 650 W ( if going sli and OCing a 850W )

Why not GTX 1080? Get that with i5 and you should be good. You don't really need the i7 for only gaming.

Berkin :

Im getting the GPU as a gift and would be buying the second one later, the 1080 is too much as my budget is $450 at most.

if gaming on 1080 P a single gtx 1070 is plenty

Worth watching (below). Another choice is to purchase a single GTX 1070 and hold on to the additional money. If a GTX 1080 Ti is released, then you can upgrade. If you purchased an EVGA graphics card, you'd have the option of their 90 day step-up program ( http://www.evga.com/support/stepup/ )
