Hello guys.
Just of all, this will be my first build ever and I'm not great with this stuff. So far my build (Idea) consist of:
Motherboard: MSI X99A Game 7 - I like the Idea to be able to upgrade to 128gb at some point OR MSI Z170A LGA this one I like the fact that I'd have USB type C which is the new standard. Not sure which to get.
For what I have been able to find out the Z1270A has been testes with MacOS but not the X99A which again makes me second guess which to get. I am not sure if to sacrifice on memory upgradability or on USB capabilities. Also the X99A is about 70$ more. I'd love to know which one you guys recommend.
Processor: This is where I get even more confused. I want to mainly be able to do a lot of video editing and gaming. I was thinking of an i5 6000k since I've read I can overclock from 3.5 to 4.2 with no problems to start with and that the extra 140$ is not worth it when it comes to gaming for the i7.
Ram: I will be starting with DDR4 on both systems and with 32GB (for now).
So please, can you help me pick a mother board and a processor that would work best for what I am trying to do?
Thanks
