Maybe if I save money until the 1080 ti comes out I'll be able to get 2 of themYou can't be far off though. How about two 1080s?

Yea but he cheaped out on his CPU. Should've bought the 5960X if he wanted to run Quad SLi.Need 4 of them to make it worthwhile though.

Are you saying he couldn't run the quad SLi with his CPU?

The 5960X has max 40 pcie lanes while the 6700K has max 16 pcie lanes.. thats why
However the 5960x is like $1000 usd

Yep. SLi requires a minimum of 8x per slot. So the max he can run is just 2 way SLi.
Worth every penny.

Its ok, if you don't want to get the 5960X, buy the upcoming 10 core hyperthreaded 6950X.

Is there a socket 1151 that has more lane incase i decide to upgrade in the future?

No, not that I know of. That's the main difference I find with the Enthusiast grade stuff (LGA2011-v3) and the typical consumer grade stuff (LGA1151). For your average joe, this isn't going to affect them at all but when you want to go a little bit crazy with fast components, you'll want the X99.

Yeah, thats just it. But really 2,3,4 cards is just overkill. A single GTX1080 is going to pretty epic for most gamers

Okay, well then i will have to stick with a duel SLi setup when i upgrade my VC.
Thank you for the information guys, it has taught me something new today

No problem.. I honestly wouldn't be worried at all if I were you.. I know for myself.. I got a gen old CPU and I'm going to grab a single 1080 and call it a day.. way overkill for me and will school any game I want to play!
