Do you run a single PC?

I'm using a dual-PC setup for streaming while gaming. If you are going to be using two PCs, you can probably do fine with the i5 in your gaming system, although I still recommend the i7 overall, especially if you are planning on doing video editing with the new computer.

Maybe crowd-discussed (and crowd-sourced) during the TEST monthly meeting tomorrow?

Also I'm currently running the following, I specifically built this to run inside an NES for an old school looking rig. It runs Borderlands pre sequal and heroes of the storm on max settings with no lag but it lags bad on Star Citizen PTU so I'm going to upgrade the video card and keep it in my big case for now. I'll finish my NES later.

CPU-AMD A10-7850K Kaveri 12 Compute Cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU) 3.7GHz Socket FM2+
BOARD-MSI A88XI AC V2 FM2+
STORAGE-EVO 850 500gb SSD
MEMORY-16GB G-Skill Sniper 2400mhz ram (2x8 gb)
PSU-Ultra X4 850watt <---EDIT that's what I put in my mid tower lol obviously wont fit in an NES for the NES I was using a Pico PSU 250 watt, google that if you need to but definitely not for your build!
all tucked inside an NES :)

This rig is running directly from the onboard due to the super awesome A10 CPU having the new 8 core gpu 4 core cpu APU combo, had to see it working in person and it's very freaking impressive for a no video card system. Amazing in fact!

At work right now but the NES was never fully finished, I'll get some pics of my tore apart NES and my wiring if you want lol but once I get it up and going I'll give some more details :) I also gutted an old Time Lord cart and am using that for the SSD housing, here's a video of the guy who inspired me to build mine. It will look very much like this.

My parts are way better than his though.

A i7 is worth it. Period. Even if you dual box. Do it. Just do it. (Insert Shia here)

As for a 980Ti.... That or my 4x 290x setup.... Hm.

For the case I have been a big fan of the Phanteks cases of late. Unique design, great cooling and modularity. Plus if you go water anywhere in the future it is one of the best mainline products for it.

As for over clocking I doubt you will need to in the near future. I over clock everything (including PCI-e bus) because I can and know how to. Most users will have no need to do what I do. I even doubt anyone here pushed their rig as far.

As a heads up, you can buy a LN dewar for a few hundred bucks and buy that stuff at a machine shop or something. It's not very expensive and you don't need a license to handle it.

Is this what I need?

Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Overclocked To 5.2 GHz With Air Cooling at 1.35V

Intel’s Skylake processors are going to hit the market in a couple of weeks and we have seen several samples already rolling out in the wild which have been tested by a few Chinese sites. The Core i7-6700K is going to be the flagship processor of the lineup and we have seen some preliminary performance numbers in benchmarks obtained from a test rig that use premature drivers and an early BIOS version that wasn’t fully configured to drive Skylake processors. The latest report on the Core i7-6700K shows that overclocking on the unlocked chips will be impressive than ever.

I do. I have a cryogenic license for MI and for Ontario. You don't need a permit for home benching. I did because I use it in high traffic areas (LAN events and such) and had to get it for liability insurance.

If you watch me assembling the stream rig tomorrow you can see my dewar that sits behind me when streaming.
