Can you explain the benefits for 2 gpus? Is it more for running multiple programs at once or programs faster and better in general?
Why do people 4x GPUs that aren't made for it? There is a benefit for games that support it, but there is the fun of OC and benchmarking. I spent about 12 hours benching my new gear and it was fun as hell.
My CPU has lost 5% of its OC cap over the year and so I want to replace it with bigger and better. Adult LEGOs.

I have a 6850K and Strix x99, but it will become my 2nd computer, right now I am using my travel laptop.

WTF, Assassin's Creed Origins doesn't use SLI? Is SLI support actually getting worse these days? My second 1080 Ti is going to atrophy.
The game is fun, but I don't seem interested in playing it much and I don't know why, I read somewhere that you can complete main quest line in about 8 hours if you want.

Yuck on all fronts

8700K if you want max OC/gaming performance and 6+ cores, they will all hit 5GHz, mine can do 5.2.
Other option is 7820X ($559) 8c/16t and the X299 platform.

This is what I have been looking at, I just want to see what the consensus is.

If you want the best for gaming, 8700k is your best bet

Maybe, that might be pushing it though. I'm 25hrs in and not even half way through the main story. Granted I did a ton of exploring but still feel like 8-10hrs might be pushing it.

You get a cool x16 PCIe lanes.
So your cards aren't even in x8/x8 if you have a M.2 drive. Really hip!

Man per Ubisofts historical records, a lot of ppl take drugs in ancient Egypt.
Posted on 11/18/17 at 11:24 am to LSU Coyote
No, the chipset has additional PCIe lanes for m.2 drives and such.

True but the bandwidth to the CPU are still shared. You will be throttled for a better word correct?
Now while gaming you shouldn't need x4 on your drive but just saying you are still limited.

So I am down to the cooler and a case, and possibly a power supply

That isn't bad for a 970.
