New Build - Final thoughts appreciated.

[fatiibraim]

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum so first of all i would like to say hello to all members.

 

Currently i'm in the process of buying a new computer. I would like to say that i'm no expert and that the configuration i'm going for is based on what i read in the last couple of weeks (many thanks to the people posting on this forum, they were very helpful). I would like to pick your brain for some final thoughts. First of all the config is:

CPU i7 5960x.

 

Motherboard Gygabite GA-X99-UD4

Crucial 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz CL15 Dual Channel Kit

GPU EVGA Nvidia GTX 760 SC 4GB

PSU Corsair Professional Series Platinum AX860

Case NZXT H630 Matte Black

HDD Seagate Descktop HDD 3TB 7200RPM 64MB Sata III

SSD Samsung 840EVO 250GB Sata III 2.5 inch

Monitor Dell 2414h

 

Should i go with the Asus x99 Deluxe Motherboard witch is more expensive? Are Asus motherboards better? Do i really need all that extra stuff on the Asus since i'm not planning multiple GPUs? Is the Asus motherboard better for overclocking?

 

I went with 16GB of RAM instead of 32 because i've already exceeded my budget and i wanted to buy the 5960X CPU. Maybe upgrade to 32GB of RAM in a couple of months, if needed. Based on my calculations the 5960x CPU is at least 30% more powerfull in comparison to the 5820K.

 

Is the GTX 760 GPU a good fit since i'm not interested in Vray RT, only in viewport performance?

 

 

Thanks for feedback.
