I'm building a qhole new system... The X58 will most likely be sold minus the SSD, Hdd's. Some things will be reused like the DVD and possibly the Case *it's a testbench so I'm unsure if I want it in a tower or not.
I want to build one that will last me another 4~5 years. It's not so much as blowing it as much as it is investing it.
Oklahoma hooker's are toothless.... Oklahoma beer is 3 point... I'll pass on both
I'm not worried about the Next Big thing around the corner. Anything is an upgrade compared to what I have atm.
What do you guys think about Win8? Should I stay with Win7?
Just make sure the room is dark. Maybe pillow over their face.
IMO if X99 is anything like Z87 when it comes to OCing I think you'd be better of with X79. Also haswell-e 8 cores will be expensive as hell so you'll probably get a 6 core in which case an X79 six core will be almost the same and probably clock better. Also DDR4 is gonna be extremely expensive and not much faster than 2400+mhz DDR3 when it comes out. As for motherboards if you go X79 there isn't much choice beyond the ROG Rampage IVs when you aim for really high clocks but if you just want 4.6 to 4.8Ghz then the Gigabyte X79 UP4 makes a great budget option if you want more features go for the Gigabyte UP5 or the ASUS X79 Deluxe. The only real negative of X79 is that it doesn't have many SATA III ports most boards come with 4+ by using Marvell SATA controllers.
Pretty sure, overclocking is much more CPU bound when it comes to Haswell/Z87 rather than boards. So I wouldnt really blame the chipset, rather then new CPUs.
