Hows it going, having a hard time deciding between the apollo stage 2 or 3, from what I understand for streaming and playing games at the same time, the 5820K will be better right? The problem I have is the motherboard selection is a lot better for the Skylake stage 2 apollo. What do you guys think, thanks.

I think you and I are looking to get very similar systems : ) What I have read sounds consistent with what you said, for pure gaming the 6700K is going to be better but for multiple things going on the 5820K will likely be more efficient.

Wonder if the deluxe motherboard is worth it over the standard one, no idea.

That is a very large power supply and a lot of RAM...depends how much you are setting yourself up for future upgrades I guess. But if you are looking to save some money I think 750W or 850W would be just fine as well as 16GB RAM.

Also, don't forget internal lighting : D

Going to be streaming on one pc, while playing games at high/ultra settings. So maybe the 32 gigs of ram is a good idea? Also the larger power supply is for another 980ti in the future.
