Hi guys - I'm a bit new here.
I'm tired of my '13 iMac and like to do my first build, but have 1-2 questions. I use my mac mostly for machine learning (tensorflow) and want to run 2 monitors via DP. Here are the parts I picked out so far:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Founders Edition Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Titanium) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
The PSU is overkill, but I want to be on the safe side to be able to install another gpu. To my questions:
1. I can't figure out the difference between all these motherboards... What makes a good motherboard? Which would you recommend for my situation? (Hero sounds good - I guess...?)
2. Would you change anything to this setup? (I'm also a bit unsure about the case..)
Thx!
