Its really out of my depth now, that mobo isnt ATX factor make sure its compatible with your case...
If you really want future proofness and money is no issue to you, cant go wrong with this
YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA SR-X Dual Socket (Socket 2011) Motherboard £559.99
2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620W 2.00GHz (Socket 2011) - Retail £329.99 (£659.98)
Total : £1,231.37 (includes shipping : £9.50).
Btw it does have 2 ethernet ports
Not sure if cpu and mobo are compatible, do check if you decide to buy.

thats a little to much for me lol. im working on a setup now ill post in a sec!
im on my macbook now not the desktop, why do you need this?
Just wanted to see what you got, then I could tell you what a 3930K gets at stock and overclocked.
ah well just google the standard result for my processor, i dont have an overclock on it anymore since it made no difference. just a straight 2.4 (i think its .4) Ghz i7 920 D0
a big upgrade then.
what do you guys make of the build above then? im a bit un sure on the motherboard but want one that dosent look really plain and has a lot of decent features!

not a fan of buying something with fatal1ty branding lol i dont go for all that stupid pro player endorsement...
is the RoG not a good board? Id rather swap the ram to match i think since the other boards arent as high quality it seems
looks, features and OC'ing as the asus p6t i bought when i7 first came out has been a pain to get a good stable OC on!
made a few edits due to my mistakes, this would be the build
edit: a side note, is it worth getting 2 smaller SSD's and doing raid? would i only get 1 size at double speed or do i get the size of both and faster? whats the best setup for games?

ok is it that much faster? the drives would only have the OS, games and essential apps on them so is the volume sacrifice worth the speed?
is the rest of the build all ok now?
