1000 watt power + good cooling solutions for CPU and memory

you have a great Pc build, but to make it better, i suggest you the following changes -

Processor - Instead of intel core i7-3930X Sandy-E bridge 3.3 GHz, replace it with a intel core i7-3930k Sandy-E bridge 3.2 GHz. It will reduce your cost by a large amount. Instead of investing on computing power that you don't use, you can invest the amount saved on a better graphic card.

Suggestions for a graphic card -

Palit nVidia Jetstream GTX 680 2GB DDR5
or Gigabyte Ultra nVidia GTX 680 2GB DDR5

The best option for you.

P.S. - Intel core i7-3930k is also a hex-core or 6 core processor. To the human eye, performance of the above said processors are fractional.

Motherboard - Go for the ASUS Rampage IV extreme edition insted of ASrock X79. Even it is a LGA 2011 supported motherboard. Under tested conditions, Asus is by far the best manufacturer of motherboard. The BIOS that ASUS provides is the most in-depth and is second to none. It has it's own heatsink too.


I still have better options than above, but i do not know your budget specification, hence i will stop here. If you do not have problems regarding finance, and can spend extravagantly, i will help you build a better system. Enjoy.

Cheers, Siddanth.

Asus motherboard is nice and as Siddanth suggested,
go for 3930K proccy and then you can overclock it to your liking with a good water cooling solution. For the ram I would go for GSKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900).
