Hi,
I asked a little while back about a spec for a set amount of cash.
Now it's a little further on, I've saved the readies and made a few choices. I've got this as an idea, I would really appreciate some feedback, anything I should consider swapping? I really enjoy ultra graphics on all games with very high frame rates to take advantage of 120hz where possible. Am I missing a trick not going for 2011 socket cpu/motherboard?
Besides gaming I run a youtube channel for a gaming community, so I'll likely be rendering a lot, hence lots of fast ram and I sometimes edit high quality gopro footage.
I appreciate not all of it is in stock right now but I'd be prepared to wait.
Thanks in advance.
