haha i know right

Not at all bad! I need that CPU to be honest, but that is well expensive at the moment!!!
Why not opt for a 4 core i7 and save yourself... well... around $800

 

[niiko101]

i think i have found a better CPU, Intel Core i7 3930K [BX80619I73930K] - $679.00 : PC Case Gear its still a 6 core, just lower L3 cache, on the i7 3960X its 15MB, on the 3930K its 12MB, i save almost $600, for almost the same performance.

You are throwing a lot of money into a rig that has components that haven't really been tested. I would hate to see you be a guinea pig for the x79, because imo it's a waste, but it looks like any kind of a budget isn't a problem for you and you will have plenty of money for Q1 upgrades when Ivy Bridge comes along.

The rig itself looks very nice...a bit over the top for a gaming rig imo, but very nice specs.

 

[niiko101]

yes, ivy bridge is comming out and im going to wait to see what they have to offer, the rig itself is not just for gaming, its for everything, plus a little show off built for clients to show what is possible with the right ammount of money.
also if you look at my other threads, i have a gaming rig, so this one wont be used much for gaming. its more of a benchmarking, video photo editing and as listed above.
