Over kill for mmo.

1080 should be more than enough

The h115i is a newer bigger version of h110i, it has much better track record. Go with h115i

Put cpu boost to factory oc (turbo boost)


960 pro offers best speed /quality/warrenty if can swing for it.

Remember DS 's warranty is 1 year.

Because the settings will be higher than needed, plus turbo boost is amazing on 8700k.
