So with all the latest Intel chipset's and CPU's being released I'm having a tough time deciding what to do. Right now, my current choice in hardware is as follows (this excludes what I already have for the build):
Where I am having trouble is with the board and CPU choice, rumour has it that Intel may have a 6 core ivy bridge CPU on the way for the x79 boards and if it follows anything like the current Ivy bridge die's it will yield a good 10% more performance over sandy bridge.
Just looking for some idea's basically, like is paying the extra for the Ivy bridge worth it? Would a dual cpu board be better? Stuff like that, feel free to throw any idea's you may have about the build at me, good or bad
Edit
Just some info on the build for those curious. It is all being housed in a Mountain Mods case (Purchased from Schizo), there will be five individual loops, one for each GPU and one CPU/Chipset/RAM/HDD, each with a different Mayhem Pearl coolant colour. The reason for 32GB of RAM is so that I can mount games into a RAM drive, simply for the lulz. Dual PSU's, larger one for the GPU's and the smaller for the rest of the rig.
