Where's all the 3930k bundles?

Sorry that was poorly worded haha.

I was hoping to see more options than the single workstation build ocuk currently have.

If its the case of shut up and build your own from scratch, feel free to tell me and the mods can delete this thread:)

Pick a 3820 bundle, head over to CS and they will customise your order to include a 3930K :)
 
Thanks for all the replies:)

I was under the impression bundles couldn't be customised.

Good to know I can upgrade the chip.

Further question I already have a considerable amount of watercooling kit. I don't suppose removing the cooler from the bundle would reduce the price slightly. (Be a shame to have it just laying around unused)
 
That sounds like a good plan to me:)

Plans being;

•asus x79 sabertooth
•i7 3930k
•16gb g.skills pc-1700 cl9 (quad channel)

Any recommendations would be appreciated. The sabertooth is more so in a couple of years I can retire it as a workstation to form a adequate gaming pc.

I don't believe ill need more than 16gb for now mainly video editing occasionally picture editing.
 
Sabertooth is supposed to be a great board. Those components sound great :) RAM is cheap at the moment so if you wanted to get 32GB now might be the time, otherwise it is an easy upgrade :)
 
It does seem a lot cheaper than last time I upgraded.

However I only utilise around 12-15gb(including OS) with my current work. Would having two sets of quad channel be beneficial? I don't mean because I have double the memory more the case would work loads be split between the two quad channel sets? Or would it just sit there unused until I pushed past the 16gb mark?

I can't see any data that makes me think anything above pc-14900 is a game changer so I figure its a suitable option whilst saving money somewhat.

Sorry I got the wrong info in my last post it's a pc-14900 1866mhz 16gb g skills.
 
Having more sticks will put more strain on the memory controller, so fewer sticks the better (theoretically). Although I wouldn't think that matters very much. The load would be split over the sticks I believe. Speed of RAM makes very little difference apart from when you are benching!
 
I'm open to suggestions :) I only choose the sabertooth for its reviews(inbuilt SSD caching) I haven't seen much about the gigabyte.

Other than the esata/higher mem speed ratings and the triple xfire ability. Why would you recommend that board?(don't worry I'm not too bothered about looks I prefere power but a nice tidy case is a must:))

The ram appears to be a better choice than the g skills. Thank you.

Thank you for your time by the way, its appreciated.
 
I only know msi for GPUs never had the chance to use their motherboards.

It looks interesting, but why would you choose this above a sabertooth or the UD5?

Is it worth the extra money?
