There is next to no price difference over the 4 core i7.

5820k become ultra high end when?

The guy said contention creation, though he did say 'slight'. I don't personally see a problem with it. We make suggestions, the OP chooses.

5820K ultra high end...LOL. yikes.

And what does the CPU have to do with the GPU you choose for pete's sake? Come on people, let's think a bit before posting.

I find some people on here should think about what they are going to post and then not post at all.

Heavy gaming with GTX 1060 !? Even i5 would handle it

So? That had nothing to do with anything

little cat said:
Your post are out of topic here

No yours are. Arguing that a i5 can do everything the 6 core can is idiotic.

EarthDog · Aug 10, 2016

He is talking within the context of the 1060... but it is completely irrelevant here.

Here is why the 6 core is a better choice since you don't bother to comprehend posts.

Im sorry what?

Now, please stop this... I have already reported the thread (what I should have done in the first place).

It refers to the other poster . But a comment on your post

Just go delete all your posts again like you normally do.

Jesus christ, the kid still does that???! Hahahaha wow. When he first joined he was called out hardcore in a thread about the lack of knowledge and then went and deleted his posts...

So glad he hasn't found his way to my home. I would have tachy'd his ass a long time ago... nothing like being able to post but not a soul can see it!

In a very serious tone and manner :mad:

: "There's only one opinion allowed... And that is mine! Grrrrrrrr!"

Ridiculous behaviour! :shadedshu:

Sad to see this happening on this awesome board.
Even though I wasn't involved in said argument, I'm tempted to hit the ignore button.

Caring1 · Aug 11, 2016

I said RX480, but only because your poll infers it is inferior.

BirdyNV · Aug 11, 2016

Thanks for your input everyone, I really appreciate it, with some consideration I might change the case up, the SSD, and I might withhold on a graphics card for the moment, or get something like a 750ti until the 480/470 cards drop down to their proposed prices. RAM purchased today!

BirdyNV · Aug 11, 2016

If only Fractal Design cases weren't so expensive at the top end, part list right now is down to 1030+ without a case, will update link in a little bit!

Yea but a good case will last a long time. I'm still using this old rocket fish case I picked up on clearance.

FR@NK picked a NZXT Source 530, littlecat I forgot about the 950 haha

WTF is going on in here.

Reaches for "ban everyone in this thread button."

*sighs. I forgot, I'm not a mod...

R-T-B · Aug 11, 2016

little cat said:
Why ? still not decided

I just ban people, it's what I do.

It's why my last forum disintegrated. I have no tolerance for BS.

R-T-B · Aug 11, 2016

little cat said:
Sorry , what is bullshit , here ?

The general fightin' and lack of acoombia.

EarthDog · Aug 11, 2016

There is a lot less fighting when there isn't people incessantly swimming outside their lane trying to help and giving poor advice in the process.

It's the nature of forums to have overzealous and uneducated help...but, most listen and pipe down. Others.. as you see here... just don't get it (I'm guessing language barrier) and keep on keeping giving poor advice. Oh well...

You would have thought by now the certain user that constantly causes this issue would have been removed.
