Seems like it's going to be one of those days while it all gets updated etc.
Gonna go for 5820K, Gigabyte X99 UD4 and 16GB DDR4 2133mhz. Want to see if prices are competitive and delivery for tomorrow, then I'll grab that lot lol.

Buyers remorse in a few week and then on MM.

What you gone for?
Intel 5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail
Gigabyte X99-UD4 Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Crucial 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-17000C16 2133MHz Quad Channel Kit
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit DVD
Hopefully arriving tomorrow
REALLY shouldnt have done this, but couldnt resist - L
Im going to have to play with it on a mechanical hdd to start with - I couldnt stretch to a 256GB ssd this month, and when I get that I will hopefully also go H55 watercooling as a first step (or something similar)
Its going to be used with a 7970 so it wont be fantastic, but its just something I wanted to try.

Choices choices, which ram should I go for 2400/2666mhz, I want to overclock my 5930k nice and high
Managed 4.7GHz (all cores) 32m HyperPI on my 5960X with 16gb @2666MHz . Could boot to windows at 4.95 but BSOD shortly after. 5Ghz certainly possible with a bit more time, better cooling and tweaking imo.
Loving this chip but it aint half toasty.

Not too high according oc3d review, he said they are speed binned so don't expect high OC.

Nice! I might have to fit mine tomorrow
IMO £750-800 depending on Ripoff Britain, gouging etc
US price + VAT is ~£625 though, for the record.
Did you add on state sales tax on to the US price. As all US prices are quoted without state sales tax. I think 8% is the mean state tax.
So you price should be US price + 8% + 20%
