I sadly had that hardware bug for about 5 years I learnt to my cost that its far better to put together a decent upto date system and be contented to live with it for a year or so rather than get the wallet out every time a hardware manufacturer farts something new out that gives a 5% performance improvement ......... thats why all synthetic benchmarks should be banned by the enthusiast community!
 
Main reason for the 5930k is to bench graphics cards on LN2 and have insane cpu scores on water.

I'd have to put the dc cpu under Ln2 to get the kind of scores a 5930k would mildly clocked. Which i kind of borked 2 boards and 1 cpu from! I'll maybe keep the 3770k (when it arrives) for single threaded stuff and playing with.

The poseidons i fell in love with from when they were released, just aesthetics and kind of bling looks i like. DDR4 and then i'd never need to upgrade for a year or 2.

Car im saving up for atm, and get a tasty tax rebate next year. House is sorted until next year, im not buying anytime soon.

p.s this is mainly for benching and playing the odd game or 2, im all synthetic. But do understand it has not much real world meaning.

Buy the dimstech bench. If you have an itch, scratch. For me buying a new case is practically the same fun as buying and building a whole pc, simply because putting stuff in cases is challenging at times and fun. I honestly don't recommend the haswell E. The RAM is currently stupidly overpriced, so much so I'd regret paying that, and you have to wonder if the CPU physics scores are worth the months you'll spend thinking about your finance while you spend two years paying it off. When I bought my first 780 I bought it on finance. After a single month of payments, I pulled out my finger and just paid the lot off in one go. Better I was in control of the money than a finance company.

Just buy the test bench, it's a little money to splash, but it will make any of your rigs look nice. There's always the primochill wet bench too, then again it's sloped and acrylic.

All that being said, your partner looks like a sensible one, so she probably won't let you :D

Sweet deal if you ask me!

I find making my current rig more awesome looking and colour coordinated gives me a little more pleasure. Waiting on 980 release so I can buy an MSI Gaming edition and sell the gigabyte. Then I'll have a full MSI branded rig.

Recommend me more music guys. Just bought a few albums from Siouxsie and the Banshees, Broken Bells, Dangermouse & Jack White, and Mercenary. Stuck at an impass here. All modern music seems to be awful.

These are currently just a few bands I have recently started listening to.

I have a lot more heavier bands on my play list but i attempted to provide something that wasnt just 'plain noise'


Karnivool - Aussie prog rock/altmetal

The Colour Of Morale - Rock/metal/metalcore

Invent, Animate - Djent/Metal/Hardcore vocals

SycAmour - Alt Rock/Alt Metal

Thousand Foot Krutch - Alt-Rock/Rock-Pop

Christian Muenzner - Death Metal/Technical Death Metal, Prog Metal, Power Metal, Neoclassical Metal - solo Album is purely instrumental

Blue Stahli - Metal/Electronica

Arctic Sleep - Metal/Space-Rock/Doom/Drone

The Perfect Pursuit - Alt-Rock/Prog Rock/Post-Hardcore

Thornyway - Symphonic Metalcore/Deathcore

Machinae Supremacy - (chiptune)SID metal/metal/power metal/electronic/Game metal

Opeth ---= In particular their 'Pale Communion' Album =--- - - - Progressive Rock/Prog Metal/Alt-Rock --- earlier material is probably not favorable (unless youre me) as they were a Prog melodic deathmetal band that have now 'gone soft'

Siamese Fighting Fish - Rock/Metal - very good radio friendly band.

------

Ive also been listening to this too...

Felt - Rebirth Story II - Liminality

the band itself is more a 'circle' of members who come to get to make music that usually derived from old beat'em up games like Guilty Gear & such but quite regularly branch out and do more original works such as this peice here.

They are japanese but the vocalist sings either in Japanese or English. She has a wonderful voice and a wide range of styles is covered on the album.

I think the lead singer has also done vocals for a few anime's though im not 100% sure but her voice sounds extremely familiar

Felt would be very high up in my pick of the bunch list. Youtube 'Felt Rebirth II' if you wanna hear more i guess.

the album covers quite a range of genre's which makes it such a joy to listen to (even if i have no fucking idea what the lyrics are - Music is a universal language anyway)

I think I just got banned on the OCUK forums, check this thread:

I was merely pointing out information that people might like to know, which I tend to do whenever OCUK try to push something off as some kind of amazing deal. Now I can't post anywhere xD
