Re#1414
Thanks for detailed answer.
Besides from TF2, CSGO I have no idea about what games are even available but FPS is my genre. I have heard about new Quake being released so will want that to run well. So to set an 'wish performance' a minimum of guaranteed 144fps (at lower settings is ok). Obviously higher fps is better.
I would like a 24inch 144Hz monitor for FPS gaming. I don't know anything about IPS / Lightboost / GSync/FreeSync.
From what you said it sounds like I want to get a 6700K and I am happy to OC (no experience with water cooling though) and a 1080 GPU. If SLI is not worth 'upgrading to' then get the 1080 now.
Streaming is not a priority at all but a 6700K should be capable of it?
Not planning on moving it but don't care too much whether ATX or whatever. Since it will be in my bedroom from time to time it would be nice to keep it on the quieter side though.
Will start doing my own research and will ask your advice again when it is time to buy.
Thanks again

Hey Setsul, cheers for this thread:
I am planning to build a complete desktop from scratch, the sooner the better but will most likely have to wait at least 4-6 weeks.
It will be 99% for gaming and my current line of thinking is to get an i7-6700K and an nVidia 1070 with the intention of getting a second 1070 for SLI in a year or two (so long as the CPU won't be too much of a limiting factor)
I am not rich but can afford to buy i7-6850K and 1080 IF there is a substantial improvement in performance OR a substantial longer life expectancy for PC as a 'gaming' PC
I live near Vancouver, Canada and my budget would be around CAD$3000 but can go higher.
Are the new CPU's worth the extra money from a gaming point of view? Mainly CSGO and TF2 but I expect I will also want to get into newer games since the PC will be able to play them. I prefer FPS games. I might also try to stream sometime.
What kind of build do you suggest (including monitor and keyboard)?
Thanks

youngunif your team is so brainless they need someone not playing to tell them what to do you should reconsider your team.
and the tf2 community wonders why this game is going nowhere - EVERY other 'sport' in the world uses coaches whenever possible - it helps a team/sportsperson get better which in turn helps the sport get better which in turn appeals to a wider audience which in turn leads to more sponsors
