Hail guys!

I use Cubase 7 loaded with tons of plug-ins and effects and I also use the same machine for gaming.

So you can see where I am coming from I have at the moment:
i7 920 @ 2.67 Nehalem
GTX980 Galax 4GB
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366)
Patriot Viper 6GB (6x2GB) DDR3 12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel

I would like 32GB so that means a new board and CPU and etc...

What would you say is the best bang for the buck these days? or any gems that can be recommended?

Kind regards,

Krafty.

Oh nice,

X99 then.

Did you have a heatsink that supports socket 2011?

oh and I was thinking of dual booting win7 and 8 (win 7 for music)

I have the H50 for a heat sink
