I am building a computer to attempt the impossible.
I would like to make use of my 144hz 4k gaming monitor to get at least 144 fps. I only use this machine for games.
i am looking at either an intel x-core processor or k- core processor, the k-core has higher mhz speed capping out on the 8086k, however the x-core has more pci-e lanes. I know that running Sli on k-core drops the pci-e lanes to 8,8 and that there is no difference in performance. but what if i add a m2 ssd to the mix?
which is better more lanes or faster mhz in a cpu decision for gaming. i know games dont use additional cores so cores arent important past 4. will future video cards use more bandwidth and be bottlenecked?
thanks
