A 2600K is only $325 vs. 990X which is $999.

The difference even in apps that can use 6 cores is minor, you have to weigh weather it's worth another $675.

And what on Earth are you going to do with a 1200w psu???

Can u help me out with a power pc for graphics
Tell me what should I get? I have 2500$

 

[geekapproved]

Use the "New Build" form that WHY ME posted for you.

You aren't going to need anywhere near $2500.

Revo Drives have terrible reviews, go with a good SSD instead.
