Meh, I'd go 8700k if I were getting something new.

8700k pretty much shits on all of those. I'm considering getting one and selling my 5960x

I wanna build a G4560 + 1050 system for shits and giggles. Just to see if it could still stay above 30 FPS on any game at 1080p with medium detail.

What keyboards are you guys rocking in here? My keyboard just got destroyed by a spilled drink so I'm looking around at options. I had Cherry blues before but might look into getting either browns or reds.

That's exactly what it is on the PC Master Race Reddit.

Benches are pretty even for 8700 and 7820, what's the major difference?

I just got a Logitech G613 from BestBuy, coming from a G710+. I hate the mushiness of reds and blacks, so I stick with blues and browns.

I love my G613 wireless mech so far.

Quad channel memory support and 28 pcie lanes for the 7820x.

X299 is the more expensive platform though.

Just ordered a Nintendo Switch with BotW, Mario Cart, Namco Museum, and Mario Odyssey for the family.

Anything else I should get with it? Got an SD card and Joy-Con grips. Should I get a second Joy-Con set?

Significant overclocking advantage for the 8700 resulting in quite a bit higher gaming performance, much lower TDP, and a larger cache.

You will love it!

BotW is my GOTY without question.

Did you own a Wii U? If not Mario Kart 8 will blow you away.

Fckk no. Joy cons suck.

Spend the money on 2 x Pro Controllers. I have the old Wii U pro controllers that I don't use anymore. They aren't as good as the Switch Pro controllers but better than joy cons. I'll give them away to you if you want them.

Haven't had a Nintendo product since the original Wii, so I'm mostly excited for BotW, but I'm sure Mario Kart will be fun.

Yeah BotW is very different. Took me some time to get into but once sucked in that was it.

Any glaring issues with this build?

Thinking about water cooling so that might change things but I think the base hardware is solid. I already have the PSU and the Evo840.

That $1200 monitor that only does 100 MHZ?

I am not one for that size of of monitor, too much real estate to cover with my eyes.

Monitor seems like the biggest issue. Not really sure why you would spend 1000$ for that when you can spend half for basically the same monitor
