Alright. Since your buying in august, intel will have Skylake out, and NVIDIA will have the 980 TI by june. So no point in planning now when most of these things will change

UGHGHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so do u know the exact date when the 980TI will be released?
I'm fine with the current build, I'm just worried about the new GPU and stewf
EDIT : I just checked the news and it said June 2nd will be the launch date for the 980 TI

 

[Bossyfins]

Yep

As for the CPU, Skylake will be the biggest IPC improvement. So it will probably be worth it, and will introduce ddr4 and maybe pcie 4.0 althougt not sure about that one

So the CPU and the GPU will be changed to Skylake and 980TI? The other parts are fine right?

 

[Bossyfins]

With skylake, DDR4 will be introduced so CPU, GPU and Ram will probably be changed.


Also, replace that loq quality PSU, and get like an EVGA B2 SuperNOVA 750 watt.

Q 1: If I dun wanna change anything is the current build (with the PSU u recommended) fine?

Q 2: If I decided to switch the CPU, GPU and RAM, what will the total cost be?

 

[Bossyfins]

Q1. One thing is your spending a LOT of money on a mobo where you may not even use any of its features. So you can move down to a gigabyte or msi gaming 7 mobo. Change the PSU to B2. Also, That h80i is beat by some air coolers. Try this build if your buying it now. I'd also wait till the 980 ti because that will drop the price for the 980 or just get the 980 ti.

Q2: Intel usually prices their cpus similary so maybe another 200$ or so. The 980 ti is aboust 827. So wait for 980 ti so price goes down of the 980 OR get the 980 ti and just stick with haswell (4790k) OR keeping saving money up and get skylake and 980 ti.

[Bossyfins]

Is there any reason you want the Maximus? You are wasting nearly 200$ on a 1150 board.

Idk, my friend recommended me this xD

EDIT: I think I just found another problem, if there's no External 5.25 on Noctis 450
how would I install an OD for Windows 8.1? Does it mean I have to change the case?

EDIT: I'm just being stupid here, I can use an USB lol fail
