Hello /g/entoomen!
I'm trying to complete a build for my new workstation/gaymen rig. I'm a software developer so it has to be quick, have resources to run 3-4 VMs (testing environment - domain controller, SQL Server and some others) also my wife does graphics and UX design. I do casual gayming, mostly D3, WoW.
I would rather invest once on an overkill machine that will last more time and have some space for possible upgrades (maybe SLI).
What do you think about these specs:
>>CPU:
Intel i7 5960X
>>CPU Cooler:
Corsair H110i AIO WC
>>RAM:
HyperX Fury DDR4 32Gb (4 x 8Gb 2666MHz)
>>Mobo:
EVGA X99 Classified
>>Storage:
1) 256Gb Samsung SM951 M.2 (OS & shit)
2) 1Tb Samsung SSD 850 EVO (software and gayms)
3) 2Tb WD Black (other data that needs to be stored on NAS)
>>PSU:
Corsair HX1000i
>>Graphics:
Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gayming (will be using an 1440p G-Sync IPS panel)
Didn't decide on case and peripherals. I don't want opinions on budget and costs. I'm only interested in performance. Maybe someone is rocking a similar build and wants to share his thoughts?
tbqh, all you need is a 5820k and save up that money for 64gb wich is actually more beneficial in vmware.
But if you came up to me, I'd convince you to go 5960x since I get extra commission for it.

Thanks for the honesty! Where i live it world be faster for me to upgrade from 32Gb to 64Gb RAM than from 5820K to 5960X. That's why I've chosen to get a 5960X in the first place and then get a cheaper upgrade.

Doesn't even have the full amount of PCI-E lanes

wow the colour reproduction will just be awful. you may as well rub crude oil into your eyes. get a proper monitor you fucking imbecile instead of some mediocre "gaming" gay sync crap.

Asus PG279Q will be shit for this application?
It is an IPS panel so has better color reproduction than TN.

fucking awful.

Can you suggest a better solution ?

You should wait just a bit longer. Intel's about to launch a new processor with 10 cores, 20 threads. It's the i7 6950x, I believe.
GPU should be fine... Nvidia's new stuff is coming "soon", but it always takes a few months after the paper launch to find any in stock.
