It seems there are many issues with my current setup. I’ll revise it and share updated details in a new thread.

Don't worry about the 1080, it's just a joke. It's not worth your money. You don't need 64 GB of RAM—it's a waste. I recommend an average of 8 GB or even 16 GB if you can afford it, but 64 GB is unnecessary. Also, don't rush to get that CPU unless you're planning to overclock it; that's a big deal.

Looking for an X99 board compatible with the 5820k?

You don't require 1000 watts. A 16GB RAM setup works perfectly for gaming!

The 5820K doesn't fit with the Z170 board. The only compatible motherboard is a X99. For this gaming build, opting for the cheaper i7 6700K would be better. The power supply needs to be more than sufficient—choose the EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2. RAM usage is excessive; 64GB is not required and 16GB should suffice.

you haven't acquired a CPU cooler. still, the motherboard and processor must function together. the required board is an X99 model, while your choice is a Z170. i’m not sure about the RAM type—does it support DDR4? you likely don’t need 64GB. for a gaming setup, I’d recommend an I7 6700K, 16GB DDR4, and keep overall specs similar; maybe a slightly cheaper board would help since performance limits are mostly affected by overclocking potential. also, you won’t need a 1000W power supply; a 750W or 850W unit should suffice.

First off, most of those motherboards should work with that CPU. In reality, your budget shouldn’t push you toward high-end options like the 5820k. If you’re just gaming, go for an i5-6600k instead. You don’t need a 64GB RAM setup—even video editors don’t require it. LMG doesn’t use 64GB on tough projects like 10-minute 4K videos at 60fps. For gaming alone, it’s unnecessary. Also, the power supply seems excessive; lowering it to around 650w or 750w would save you some money. Still, you haven’t mentioned a monitor—just a GTX 1080? Don’t know the resolution or what you’ll be playing at!

I missed including the DDR4 RAM, which is why I got mixed up with the x99 motherboard. I was thinking about DDR3 before and ended up with this one.

I was unsure about the monitor I’m considering. I bought an Acer 28-inch model for around $350 and an ASUS one for about $450, both offering 4K resolution.
