This one's for me. He can have my castoff! haha.

Primarily gaming, I will be doing some video/photo/audio editing here and there for my business, but nothing too intensive otherwise I'd have gone X99.

Necessary especially at that price?!

I haven't settled on a memory yet, in fact, when I added those to the basket, the ones I did want were out of stock, so hopefully by the time I come to buy the memory I actually want will be in stock.
