2013 hexacore build

Bysherwin

I was going to wait for the Haswell processors to come out before considering on building another computer. But I was presented with an unbeatable deal on an Intel 3930K processor. I made the deal and I’m waiting on the arrival of the hexacore processor.

So far I got the Fractal Design Define R4 tower and the Corsair TX750 V2 power supply.

I hope to get my motherboard, water cooler, and CPU soon. I won’t be using the quad channel ram yet. I have a spare dual channel 8GB (2x4GB) I will temporarily use and an old eVGA GeForce 550 video card. Still waiting for a good price on a quad channel 32GB (4x8GB) ram and eVGA GeForce 660 TI.

This card alone cost more than my server (except the 8x 2TB drives) all together. Shout out to Jeff…
