Looks great! Gaming performance with CPU intensive games will improve. That cooler will help with any overclocking you do. BTW, what GPU do you have?
I have a 980.
Going to overclock until it megahurtz
You might have trouble getting this type of ram to work with your system...
It's for only the 1337 of the 1337.
System looks gooooood :D I like it
I'm Curious: What's the reason for upgrade?
Upgrade itch? Bottleneck? Money to Blow? i7 3770 is still kickass IMO
Bit of both, I have the cash right now and I know I wont be able to upgrade for a while after I do this, I want something to last me a long time after.
Ahh yes :D I know them feels.
@SoulFallen @Fouquin do I get the ASUS X99-A with usb 3.1 or the other one? The non 3.1 has better reviews, don't know which to pick.
They are basically the same damn thing except for 3.1 as far as I know. You want 3.1 or not!?!?!
I do kinda want it.
Then follow your dreams my child
I shall have a potato PC no more!!
Gonna be project Black Ice
Feels so goooood.
Like the deoderant?
There's a deodorant called black ice? lol
Maybe I should name it Black Snow or Black Blizzard. I dunno got some brain storming to do.
Just name it black man and call it a day
But its gotta have something that white AND black, not just black.

For Cooler look at ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer 120 ACFRE00016A 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler
