After getting a new job I have realised that a 2nd powerful PC is needed (I'm a software developer and I regularly compile software that takes over 2h on my current PC)

My current main PC :

CPU : i7-4770k
Mobo : MSI Gaming 5 Z97
RAM : 16GB DDR3
GPU : Ref AMD R9 290
SSD : Sammy 840pro 128GB
HDD : Some 1TB HDD ;)
PSU : Corsair CX750
Case : Coolermaster HAF+

I also have a spare Prodigy M case with some bits and bobs (840 EVO 120GB SSD / another 1TB HDD / superflower leadex 750w)

So I am going to use the above two "systems" to make my new main PC within the Prodigy while having another working system in the HAF+, the specs will be :

CPU : i7-5820K (On Order)
CPU Cooler : Antec H600 Kuhler (On Order)
Mobo : Asrock X99M Killer (On Order)
RAM : Kingston Fury Black 16GB (On Order)
GPU : Ref AMD R9 290 (From current main PC)
SSD : 840 EVO 120GB (From bits and bobs)
HDD : HDD : Some 1TB HDD (From bits and bobs)
PSU : Superflower Leadex 750w (From bits and bobs)
Case : Prodigy M

The needed extra bits should be here tomorrow after some fun with the OCUK order system ;)

Stand by for pictures :D
 
In all honesty even though you've already purchased the parts I would have gone for a xeon. You can get some beastly chips from over the pond that aren't too far off the price of the 5820k. Apart from that, looks like it's gonna be a good one.
