Thank's Rooster!

Changed my SIG, I'll make something pretty in Photohop later for my SIG.

Yeah 64GB, I was actually going to go for 128GB with another Mobo, it is always put to good use in my line of work believe me! in-fact 128GB is considered average in larger companies, these are also the companies who can afford to spend hundreds of thousands on their back-line rigs though haha.

I will be creating a video blog/YouTube channel just for this project, It would really help the other audio based guys out!

I am still somewhat a novice with PC building as I have been living in the land of Mac for 4 years, however I am sure it will help some people.

Can't wait to GeekBench this system!

I have been following this thread with interest. You have made a monster machine. A build log and pics would be great too.
Oh and welcome back to the real world btw.

There is a lot of users moaning about the motherboard you picked, the one stulid and me suggested was cheaper and more loved....

I guess its too late, hopefully you wont run into problems.

Gigabyte is a solid make, I'm sure he will be fine!

Well the UD5 has a WiFi PCI card and also has a FireWire 400 on the back of the board this was the winner for me tbh. I know I could have got a seperate PCI WiFI and FW card but its just extra hastle and I am sure this board will be just fine. Also I doubt I will do any overclocking......

Unless..... well we shall see, I will make a full log with some photos and some videos of the build and post it up.

deffo try overclocking, 4.4-4.5 ghz is very, very easy to get to, and worth exploiting.

Rooster212 · 18 Nov 2012 at 21:10

Overclocking is free performance! Smaller overclocks are extremely easy to attain! You can probably get 20%+ performance in 10 mins of overclocking. You will use it at some point :cool:

Sounds good with the log, we need pics cause this should be an epic rig

Okay, you have bent my arm. I'll go for the overclock as long as it stays stable!
