Edited first post...

That's one beast of a computer. But I would have personally gotten ride of that SSD and got a second 1080 instead.

[Qicmee]

You've got more computer power than the original Star Trek's Enterprise!

[Duke{CLR}]

That will be a nice rig. What monitor will you be using with it?

[Cain]

I have a 30" DELL..... I'll use my same monitor....

Dell UltraSharp 30 Monitor with PremierColor - UP3017

I'm starting to use several virtual machines for software testing and so forth. Those suckers hog RAM and disk space and CPU cycles...

Thus the monster RAM and CPU.

This is 90% business PC and 10% gaming... The video card was all gaming tho... :-D

[Duke{CLR}]

I have a 27" Dell monitor, it's a beauty.

[majinsnake]

nice system.

[Cain]

nice system.

Thank you! I went 'all-out'...

Got delayed putting it together, Amazon sent me the wrong CPU fan, and the wrong RAM.

[Cain]

And now the MB dropped dead. I've never seen that happen before. I wondered why this board got horrible reviews.

[K PhaNTOM]

lol it couldn't handle all the power.

Apache

I know, bad idea.

[Duke{CLR}]

I know, bad idea.

We have all been there, Did you get if because of price or because of certain options?
