I hear all this shit about skylake being a meme, but what's actually wrong with it? Why wouldn't someone building a new PC from scratch go with skylake?
>>52985164
I got a Xeon E3-1231-v3
Now I just have to decide between a 390x and a Fury
>>52985179
>server processor for gaming
why
>>52985179
I got the 390, best price for performance vs the extra like ~5fps a 390x gives.
It's simple - don't listen to /g/
>>52985189
So he can regret it a year later when he could've gotten an i5 and overclocked it.
>>52985189
>>52985228
I'm not a dork, I don't overclock
>>52985217
This. I'm ordering an i5 6600 tomorrow
>>52985253
>much better performance for a few dollars more
>>52985265
>Only 4 cores
Enjoy your obsolescence when DX12 is standard
>>52985189
the argument goes that xeons have the same performance for a lower price.
the lower price is because xeon chips don't have a graphics chip.
>>52985189
you're retarded, it's just an i7 4770 with lower power draw and lower price tag
Really perfect for getting an i7 at an i5 price point
>>52985228
PFFFF
What kind of retard do you have to be to say a 3.5ghz i7 is inferior to an i5 you can get a little overclock on
I mean especially considering emulation, the direction games are going to take advantage of an i7 with several doing it already, and literally everything you PC will ever do
Seriously, an overclockable i5 is retarded, the Xeons let you get an i7 for the same god damn price
>>52985189
It's basically an i7 without the integrated graphics, which people don't use but pay for.
>>52986204
you dont even have to wait a year, there are benchmarks out there showing even skylake i5 benefits from overclocking, let alone your significantly slower lower clocked poorfag xeon.
It cost the same as the i5 for a reason. Intel is not stupid. You're not outsmarting anybody by getting a xeon.
>>52986241
I don't understand computers, the post!
>>52986268
the good lo' ad hominum
>>52985164
Because X99.
>>52986241
I just cannot even begin to express the degree to which you do not know what you are talking about
Newbie fag here, is it retarded to buy the i5-6600k? It's only 10 dollars more than a 4690k
>>52985253
So you're just a moron? Thanks for clarifying.
Because Cannonlake.
>>52985217
If he listens to you, he's still listening to /g/
>>52986378
Why the fuck would it be retarded.
People recommending you old shit are trying to drag you down to their level because their build got obsolete in a year.
Imagine if you bought a honda for 25k and a year later they release a self driving honda for the same price. That's how those people feel now.
>hurr it's gonna kill you
>falling for the self driving car meme
>rip in piece
>why didn't I wait ;_;
>>52986443
This. Why the fuck do people defend their shit to the death and actually go out of their way to attack any one with something new. So fucking what if the increase is minimal, we're not talking an enormous price difference either, yet they act like if it was them purchasing right now and money was no object, they'd still go for old generation shit. Fan boy faggots.
>>52986204
>What kind of retard do you have to be to say a 3.5ghz i7 is inferior to an i5 you can get a little overclock on
An i5 at 4.4Ghz+ outperforms a stock 4770, especially in gayming. You also get significantly better single core performance and the same multithreaded performance thanks to the 1GHz overclock.
>>52986443
>>52986494
Cool, thanks, must be annoying to ask but what would you guys recommend as a motherboard for the 6600k?
>>52986523
Z170
>>52985291
You realize all processors will get a boost right?
>Over clocking
I hate /g/
intel base clocks are a bad joke you are iltery forced to overclock them to get anything of note
this is why skylake is a meme
kayby lake will fix this i'm sure.
>>52986578
thanks for the post here's your you and your attention
>>52985164
Tick tock, faggot
>>529851792>>52985179
Just bought 2 xeon v1 2670s 16 cores for 140 dollars.
There's no reason not to get Skylake if you're building a new system. There's tons of new chipset features and they offer better overclocking than previous processors, plus you get a die shrink and the newest architecture
>>52986565
Which one?
Do you have a current build or are you literally just starting.
Here is what I went with
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tGzH6h
>>52986765
Pick up a hard drive for data storage. Otherwise looks good to me
>>52986308
What's wrong with Z170?
>>52986617
What's the point of this post
>>52986394
Enjoy your non existent social life dork
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZHkDD3
Thoughts?
>>52987436
get a mobo that supports nvme and then buy a samsung 950.
get a bigger hdd
get a i5 6600k
and for the love of god, dont fucking buy a ONE FUCKIN THOUSAND FIFTY WATTS PSU. what the fuck are you trying to do with that. that would even be too much for 2 GPUs.
i also recommend a simple 10$ keyboard
>>52987436
Fixed it
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4NCMBm
>>52987498
welp, i already bought everything on that list. yeah I know the PSU is overkill, but I wanted something that would last me the 7 years its warrantied for and I could potentially use in whatever powerhungry rig later on. I have a spare WD 1Tb that i'll also be using for space.
>>52987498
Also I think the Ranger has nvme anyway
>>52987546
850w 80+ gold would've been enough
>>52987606
yes i think it does
>>52987607
Yeah probably, it was only like 40 bucks more and I impulsively bought it, not like it's gonna do any harm having such a powerful PSU.
Other than the overkill CPU/PSU, it's fine? Also, why different ram?
>>52987498
>>52987546
Why do people fucking act like what wattage PSU you use that's the power it draws no matter what. There's hardly a fucking ludicrous price difference and buying higher for a small amount of cash future proofs to an extent if you want to add another GPU or anything else.
Oh wait, I just realised you were refering to >>52987436 's $175 1050w PSU and not >>52986765 's $100 750w PSU. Well yes, get a lower PSU fucking tard.
>>52987672
The 850 or 750w isn't much less expensive in Canada, at least the seasonic one. And oh boy do i dickride seasonic
Waiting for Zen.
>>52987822
whats so great about this new zen cpu?
>>52987951
Essentially intel are a bunch of dicks, AMD is cool, Zen will hopefully bring chips with an IPC*Clock at at least like 80% as high as Intel's, essentially giving competition and free OCs and shit and better
>>52985164
Just build my first desktop with that. Feels great. Was going for last gen i5, but waited till skylake released
if you're really building new, the 5820k is the best route. cheaper than that, the 4790k.
really any 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx series i5 cpu is fine for gaming.
My new build, I started a month ago. I chose to use 4790K.
>Skylake is a meme
>Investing into a DDR3 platform is not
This is why /g/ is a bunch of mouthbreathers.
>>52986378
No. It's retarded to listen to trolling on this forum going hurr durr skylake meme hurr durr get a 4690k for moar obsolescence.
>>52989730
No difference between DDR3 and DDR4.
>>52989849
DDR4 is stronger
>>52989849
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er_Fuz54U0Y
Spew more lies retard. Investing in an obsolete platform is something only /g/ would do.
>>52989858
>>52989865
In gaming.
>>52989849
DDR4 is faster retard...
>>52989879
Not in gaming.
>>52986440
OH SHI-
donated 300 jewuros to AMD, they gave me 390 which obliterates anything I need
>>52986678
Not same anon but Asus makes pretty nice mobo's, never disappointed me so far
