I am wanting to know these today because I still feel myself novice, though I know most of the things. Therefore, I am gaining few relevant knowledge about these, and learning everyday. I didn't take Computer Science in my school at the cost of Biology, so I don't learn these as a reguler school studies, and I cann't find any good books in the market about these (even if I find one, it's in Bengali or, based on old hardwares). Moreover, instead of posting dozen threads about each hardware (GPU, CPU and Motherboards are exception), I find this AiO more effective and space saving. In addition, you guys can also suggest whether or not I'm walking the right path with a better build, and there's nothing of pride in here. And Vario, of-course, it's not your time wastage, infact, you're helping me to learn something. I don't want to debate any more about this, so let's head to our subject, shall we?

Then here's what you do. Pay attention to reviews and press-releases on various tech based websites and learn about the new stuff coming out, how they perform and etc.

What is ECC?

So, Z87 & the CPU altogether makes 4 channels, whereas X79 alone has that. Which one is better then? Do you think Z97 could support quad channel memory?

Questions like these are speculative and hold no relevance to building a computer.

In regards to your original question in the original post, your next gaming rig that you have laid out will be obsolete in Q1 2015. It's best you stick with learning through what I have stated above.

Pro tips from my own experience
1) never ever buy a dual gpu card unless there are no other options
2) Intel extreme editions are stupid

Everything else changes so much that you just have to read reviews and news articles.

That's a bit harsh and you know it, wont be obsolete by a long shot, heck an 2500K still is enough for almost all games.

It might, but Intel might prefer monopolizing by keeping quad channel a Socket2011(or 2012?) feature, and keeping the Zx7 boards gimped down to dual channel. Not really much of a gimp TBH, I'm perfectly happy with dual channel...

Even your rig won't be obsolete by then... that's some exaggeration right there...
