Z170 or X99? 6700K or 6800K? 32/64GB DDR4?
I think I over estimate what I'd actually need for this build. Music production was always the core thing I wanted to do but things like video game development and VR were on the agenda too. But I think the reality is, I just can't afford an X99 setup with VR development in mind. However what I have in mind initially isn't crystal clear realistic graphics, it's just basic geometry, lighting and particles.
I figured I could spend more time in software like Blender and run it on CUDA on a GTX1080, still getting performance but on a cheaper machine. I'm used to laptops with 5400rpm HDDs so any build like this is going to feel like a massive improvement. And to be fair video editing is not something I'm interested in, I'm not a vlogger, not making gaming videos, maybe I'll record some stuff with fraps but this is intentionally a development and production machine, so I won't be rendering videos in 4K or anything like that, rarely even at 1080p.
I heard software such as FL Studio benefits from faster CPU as opposed to cores and threads, is this true? Z170 would be so much cheaper and I could afford better sound equipment which ultimately is what I want (I want Occulus Rift or HTC Vive too but one dream at a time!).
