New components for the best 3D experience (need some advices)
Hello, I am trying to have the best experience when playing 3D games, and I am thinking on moving from my current system to a new one because some troubles with computer shutting off randomly on the last month (posible cause can be power supply, ram or motherboard, I guess). Anyway I was thinking on improving my CPU these last months, so this seems to be the right moment.
My new rig would have these new components:
- "Asus Z370-E Gaming" motherboard (226€)
- "Intel i7-8700" CPU (329€) + "Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H115i" (149€)
- "Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600 PC4-28800 2x8Gb CL18" (209€)
I am not sure if I am really going to notice the difference in terms of fps playing games. Now I am using also 6 cores at 4 Ghz.
My intention with the new rig is to NOT make any kind of overclocking, and that is why I prefer i7-8700 instead of the "K" version. I am not sure about motherboard, maybe the asus z370-e gaming is intended to make overclocking, and that is not my case. I am also trying to experience for my 1st time with a CPU water cooling method (corsair H115i), to see what happen and to balance the heat that the GTX 1080 TI introduces into my pc case (maybe it would be also a good idea to think about water cooling the GPU in the next future).
Any suggestion is always wellcome.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowlegde there's close to zero games that supports 6 cores !
You won't gain much compared to your old rig, you need more MHZ on the CPU if you wan't a faster gaming PC !
I don't know anything about the MB, I allways use Asus but prefer the ROG series !
What's wrong with overclocking ??
My I7 4790 K is rock stable at 5000 MHZ, and I use the same Corsair cooling unit as you mentioned :)
I have been overclocking my CPU's since my first Pentium 60 MHZ, clocked to 66MHZ - LOL..

Win7 64bit Pro
CPU: 4790K 4.8 GHZ
GPU: Aurus 1080 TI 2.08 GHZ - 100% Watercooled !
Monitor: Asus PG278QR
And lots of ram and HD's ;)
8600k is the way go currently.
Im also doing that build.
Though i read 8400k could boost upto 5.5 stable so its another choise.
Its true the extra cores Are not currently that dupported buy you gotta remember. Its
For next 4-5 years and more cores Are getting used little by little and if you Are any interested
In VR i would asume there Atleast the cores Are utilized
