i7 6700k rig 2: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/keyvax/saved/#view=N8KzK8


Daily stuff i do on the pc: Gaming at 1440p 144hz while streaming, 2x monitors on with at least 2-3 tabs open and some video editing

both will not run modern games at 1440p / 144hz at high settings. For that you need to add another 980 ti. But the first one will work better.

you are so wrong 1 980 ti can run 1440p 144hz

i think rig 1 is better and cheaper

and you can always add a second 980ti if you see the need

One gtx 980ti will play games like diablo 3, counter strike go, mobas, wow @ that refresh rate... More intensive games... Wont happen.

Im using a 6700k w/ water cooled gtx 980ti on a PG279Q 1440p 165hz monitor. I have it @ 144, didnt OC it to 165.

pretty sure i see videos all over youtube running every single game out there right now at 1440p 144hz at 70+ fps steady on ultra settings

if you cant do that with your 6700k 980 ti your doing something wrong

even saw a guy run i5 2500k ocd with 780 ti run on 1440p 144hz but at 40 fps

My pc performs just fine. Your not going to see the full benefits of a single gtx 980ti @ 144hz 1440p. But it is worth it.

theres not a single card out right now that can lol

and 70fps @144 hz is still better than 70fps @60hz or 40fps @ w.ehz

I vote for this one...
