You'd lose enough from the 8350 to end up with 1070 performance anyway.I'd rather go AMD/1080 over Intel/1070 unless you play at 120hz and above.
I'm ok with however it ends up being arranged. As long as it's not just me who constantly updates all the builds.I'm wondering if it would be best to only have a couple people working on this project so it doesn't get out of hand, somebody that knows what they are doing. And I think doing AM3+ builds right now would be bad since AM4 is coming out soon.
I never said I was a good listener.
Because I had mine with a 980 Ti, and at 4K the only game there was a bottleneck in was GTA V. Like I said I would only go with Intel and 1070 if you play at 120+hzAn 8350 throttles my 390 at times and you want to put it with a 1080?
Do you have any sample benchmarks from that setup?Because I had mine with a 980 Ti, and at 4K the only game there was a bottleneck in was GTA V. Like I said I would only go with Intel and 1070 if you play at 120+hz
13,530 for the FX-8350 vs 20,437 for the 6700K shows a clear CPU bottleneck in this benchmark. That's a massive difference! The i7 6700K is much newer and faster than the old FX-8350 so it doesn't surprise me there's a big difference. I reckon an i5 6600K would still own the FX-8350 with the 1080. Even an older i5 like the 4670K or the 4690K probably would too!The 8350 is bottlenecking the 1080 in a bunch of Firestrike 1.1 tests.

Click on the "Show results detail" then go to "Detail Scores" tab to see the data.
Dammit I should have checked that. Eurghh... Still, the 4670K with one card is not far off the 4690K with two cards and scores higher than the 3570K with two cards!@spirit, some of your links are with 2 GTX 1080s.
Even the 1st Gen Core i7 Nehalems are doing pretty well. It seems like the PCI-E 2.0 is holding it back slightly though.Dammit I should have checked that. Eurghh... Still, the 4670K with one card is not far off the 4690K with two cards and scores higher than the 3570K with two cards!
What I'd do is when you think you have a full build and have a few questions about it, create a new thread and ask the question. That way, it won't get lost in the other conversations. To answer you question for the time being, PCPartPicker does really well to check for incompatibilities for the most part, but it's not fool proof.So I have a question,
Is "PC PART PICKER" a reliable source for a "No Issue" new build ?

I'm amazed that people are still using these first generation i5 and i7 processors and still putting new hardware like GTX 1080s in these machines. On one hand you'd think that if you can afford a 1080 you'd probably also be able to afford a new system, but on the other hand you have to think that if people are still genuinely using these 6-7 year old CPUs as 'daily drivers' (and are not digging them out from under their beds purely to benchmark them) then that just goes to show that these CPUs have truly stood up to the test of time to remain relevant and adequate some 6-7 years after their launch!Even the 1st Gen Core i7 Nehalems are doing pretty well. It seems like the PCI-E 2.0 is holding it back slightly though.
