Will the New boards be released alongside the new CPU's?

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Also needed to ask if I get 2 kits of the memory (32gb), does that limit overclocking moreso?

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Quick update with this, have been chopping and changing and I still have to add a monitor/keyboard/mouse/SSD's to this but quite happy with what I have picked so far. Decided to reuse my Corsair HX850 and buy new cablemod cables, also have chosen some Sata bit fenix braided and some fan extensions in red. If I am missing something else please tell me guys.

I don't think those cables will work will normal HX. They are both CWT but the that's where the similarities end I believe

Are you sure? they are on the list for compatable http://cablemod.com/compatibility/ .If there isn't any that fit a new PSU may be in order.

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

I have heard a lot of good reports about the Triton from this forum and I thought it would look decent. I was going to originally go with a Corsair H110i gt. If you think the Triton isn't good enough Stulid I will go back to that and I appreciate your help. And I am glad I found out about the cables in time. I am just going to buy a new PSU instead.

For now (may change the cooler). Please confirm this is all ok together.

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

I already have a Crucial mx100 and a few OCZ ssd's mate. Can't wait to order, feel like a kid at christmas haha. Might change the Triton to the corsair H110i gt but im very happy with the rest and not changing them.

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Is the 5930k im getting worth it over the 5820k? Also will I be able to get the ram on the rate 2666mhz easily enough?

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

I won't be able to order till the 17th July . I hope you will still have the ram on sale I have chosen.

Edit - Just noticed the sale on those is already over. Still buying them though.

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

for this sort of money wouldn't this be better for gaming performance?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-453-OE&groupid=43&catid=2474

Would rather build myself mate and I want ddr 4

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Im tempted to go for the 5960X instead of the 5930X and just 16gb of ram, what do you think guys?

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

If it were me I'd go 5960X, then you can say you have 8 cores

Im considering it mate, would have to drop to 16gb instead of 32gb though if I did.
