Hey

my name is Muhammad and I am from Germany. First of all I want to apologize for my bad English skills although I have studied my first 2 years at the English Medical Faculty, I have no knowledge how to express myself in this English technical stuff. However, I am planning right now on building my own PC intending to play games (at least 60 fps), render movies (youtube) and of course to do some Twitch streaming.


This is my PC configuration:

CPU: i7-6700k or i7-5830k (i7-5930K or i7-5960X is also an option but are really expensive in Germany)
Mainboard: depends on which CPU architecture (ASUS or MSI)
Graphics card: GeForce 980 GTX (maybe 2-SLI)
RAM: 32 GB
Casing: Corsair Obsidian 900 D
Cooling: Water cooling system

As you can see I really don't know what kind of CPU I should choose. The new Skylake architecture supports Intel Quick Sync which has an incredible performance in decoding compared to Hashwell-E (Socket:2011-3) and this is why I need your help since probably most of you guys have experience with OBS and so on.


By the way do you know if there is recognizable performance difference between Dual and Quad RAM channel?



Thank you for advance :)
