Speccing a new PC!

ok thanks.

will just hold out for a few more peoples opinions on the list before i confirm it, i dont know much about the board or ram really (just wanted the cool lights on the ram !!)
 

thanks, how do i list like that? i never worked it out...

also do i need a modular cable kit? wont that come with the psu...

also why the gigabyte board? ive only ever used Asus, and why corsair PSU after everything already said in this thread...
 
Heres the basket plugin - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18371076

The PSU does come with all the cables needed, the extra ones I included (edited the above spec to make them Blue) are finished off nicely with individual braiding.

ah fair enough, not sure if theyre worth £60 though!

Reasoning behind the board and psu?

I got the plugin to work, thanks for that, will save a lot of time!
 
The board matched the colour scheme, was a bit cheaper, has a new type of power stage for the CPU and has Thundebolt as a further option.

The PSU was just to be able to add those fancy cables.

ha ok i might leave it since the asus still matches and im used to using them, the psu i might leave as i dont want to pay extra for cables!
 
Well there isnt an equivalent IB CPU to the 3930K, but the Anandtech bench - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/551?vs=523 - does seem to show the 3770k beating the 3820

but if i get the cheaper 2011 socket processor i can just throw in the IB version when thats out? which would be faster than anything, if i go for an IB build now itll need a new mobo etc to upgrade as IB is last processor for that socket?
 
That Cinebench I showed you is much better than I manged with a [email protected] which got 7.78

And I think the motherboard I selected looks nice, has the IR3550 powerstages as its part of the UP range and has eight dimm slots for more RAM later.
