Hi all,

I'm replacing my old Lynfield rig, how's this?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel 5930K 3.50GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - OEM (CM8064801548338) £449.99
1 x GeIL EVO Potenza 32GB (8x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit - Red (GPR432GB3000C16DQC) £379.99
1 x Asus X99-Deluxe Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £299.99
1 x Intel 730 Series 480GB SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Internal Solid State Drive (SSDSC2BP480G4R5) £269.99
1 x Corsair Graphite 780T Full Tower Case - White (CC-9011059-WW) £144.95
1 x XFX 1050W Black Edition Pro '80+ Gold' Certified Modular Power Supply - 5 Year Warranty £134.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit DVD - OEM (FQC-06949) £116.99
Total : £1,813.38 (includes shipping : £13.75).




5930 seems like a better bet than the 5920 with the extra PCIE lanes.
Purpose is Gaming, Software Development and Music (will most likely be adding an external DAC).

Graphics will most likely be a pair of whatever nvidia release this year, with a 680 until then (900 series seems like a somewhat flawed platform). Also taking HDDs from the previous build.

The GeIL memory seems insanely cheap (even when it's not on offer), is there a reason for that?

And finally, spec me a CPU cooler? (Air or closed loop are both fine).

Normally I would recommend a AIO cooler such as a H105 or H110 etc, but they are all out of stock.

Why do you need Win Pro?

Not sure, they possibly not the most well known brand out there, maybe they dont bin their chips as well as say Gskill does.

The Teamgroup above is really cheap.

Thanks very much, went for stulid's first selection, but with the Panram sticks, and ordered a H110 elsewhere (sorry!). I was under the impression GeIL were a well-respected manufacturer just like GSkill, guess I misremembered.

If you only plan on running 2 graphics cards then the 5820K is better value.

That might be my current plan, but if it still takes 3 cards to run 4k at 120Hz+ when those panels come out in 2018, I'd rather not have to replace the CPU as well.
