New System

[mikethe6th 60]

Hello,

 

In a moment for stupidity I went ahead and bought a new system last night. I could still cancel (I just need to let them know in about 15 hours) but could you let me know what you think of the system before I decide to go ahead with it or not? It's for P3D and for video / After Effects rendering. 

• Intel Core i7 6700K at 4.6GHz
• Asus Z170-A
• 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black, 2666MHz, CAS 16-18-18-35 (can't find faster memory at 32GB)
• 6GB EVGA GTX 980
• 2 x SSDs
• 1 x HDD

It seems like a great system and I’m sure I’ll be happy but I just want my mind put at rest as it is £1500 worth of kit.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Mike

All good, but would definitely change for faster memory.  Go 16gb if needs be, but I would be wanting 3000mhz stuff at the least

Yeah I agree here.

 

Lower it to 16 GB (plenty enough anyway) and go for higher frequency RAM. You will get slightly better performance out of this. 

 

Have a look Here

If they can fit Skylake specific RAM, GSkill Ripjaw V or Trident Z Even better.

 

I notice its the GTX980 not the 980Ti, pity you couldn't afford the later.

Thank you all! Will give them a call tomorrow and change the RAM.

 

And it's the 980Ti, not 980. My fault.

 

Appreciate all your comments.

Great then. 980Ti is an awesome card. I have one sitting right behind me ready for my build. EVGA Classified.
