Need Help with setup.

Looks good. You may need to turn some of your game settings down from the maximum when playing at 4K, but it shouldn't be bad. You're component selection will let you add a second Strix card later if you want to have maximum settings in game.

If you can spare an extra $200, you can opt for a single 1TB Samsung Evo drive in place of the 2 drives you have selected. I personally prefer to have a single storage volume and SSDs are awesome to work with, but some people are fine with multiple drives.

You'll be fine with Windows 10 Home. It supports DirectX 12 and I'm guessing you're not going to be using the features in W10 Pro, which you can always upgrade to later on if you need to.

Edit: Oh, I'd spend the extra $20 to the extra overclock to get the core frequencies up to 4.5 or 4.6 GHz (you'd have to be rather lucky to get 4.7 or 4.8 GHz).

High guys. Thank you for fast response. NO NAME ? I took my setup from one of your posts.So thanks for that.For the last few days, i was all over this great forum, trying to get as match info i can get. My head is spinning.Like i said, real amateur
here, so i had some noob questions if i may.With this monitor, can i play with lower
then 4k resolutions, or its gonna be some sort of problem?

Thanks for your help db188. I will go, and clear this out.

Yeaa.. Thanks db188. i desided to steer away from that monitor.I'll go with Asus 24 VG248QE Series monitor. Is it any good? The reason i just don't have horses in my setup to really use 4k capabilities. I'll spend extra for bigger SSD drive,that i was advice
by DS Veteran. Should i get this VG248QE monitor? Or should i get something better outside the shop? I'm really was looking for 27' inch monitor. Any suggestion
guys? Thank you in advance.

Yes, I've played some games at 1080p on a UHD TV and did not experience any issues. You can also try out for yourself and determine if you prefer high details at lower resolution, or higher resolution but lower details.

And I was just stating my preferences in regards to the drive. You should figure that each modern AAA game (the big budget games that cost $60 new) will take up ~50GB each of storage (very rough approximation). If you bounce between a lot of games, figure you will need more storage, but if you only play a few at any given time, you can remove games you're not using and not need as much storage to begin with. Media files, especially video, are also other considerations to make for storage needs. But, in my opinion, the cost disparity between HDDs and SSDs are getting close enough where the performance advantage makes it worth the cost...but then again, I don't use that much storage...only 192GB used on my 512GB SSD (only storage) since fresh operating system install a year ago.

I place order for my Apollo today.
My final configuration:
Intel Core I7 6700K 4.0GHz (overclock to 4.8GHz)
Mobo:ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING
16GB DDR4 2800MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series
Power Supply: 860W EVGA SuperNOVA
Optical Drive:DVD Writer/CD Writer
Storage Set 1:1x SSD ( 1TB Samsung 850 EVO)
Internet Access:High Speed Network Port
Graphics Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti  6GB (ASUS Strix Edition)
Sound Card:Integrated Motherboard Audio
Extreme Cooling :H20: Stage 2: Corsair H110i GT
Microsoft Windows 10 Home(64-Bit Edition)
Thanks to everybody who help me with helpful info.
Looking forward to read and communicate with you and learn some more.
The waiting officially start.
See you guys around.
PS: One more question about my Power Supply. Its going to be enough for 2x GTX 980 Ti ? I'm gonna add second Ti in the future.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, a 850W PSU will be enough for 2x 980Ti. That's one thing that I overlooked when I had built my computer with DS was the PSU. Looks like I'll have to replace my PSU if I ever decide to get a 2nd Vid. Card. Oh well. Build looks solid, congrats!

you'll probably see ~100 watts pulled from the rest of the system, minus the vid cards. a single Strix ti vid card under load pulls ~425 watts (unless you oc it further).  a second card won't be working as hard as the first, but it will still add significant power draw (~225 watts extra).  so, you're looking at total system power draw in the 750 watts range under load.
