My i5-750 is still kicking on daily in a family computer

Having used both the Deep Silence 1 and Define R5, I must say I prefer the Define R5, although both are excellent.

I have an Asus X99-A that I'm a pretty big fan of. Anandtech Review I have a buddy with an MSI X99S Gaming 7 that he likes quite a bit. Of the boards you listed, I would go for the MSI before either of the Gigabytes, due to personal experience.

Crucial BX100

I use tek syndicates 'metal method' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNgFNH7zhQ

I just built a system with the Define R5. Its my favorite case yet. (Previously used Antec mini-P180 and Nanoxia Deep Silence 1)

In my Define R5 I'm using three NF-A14s as intake and they are amazing. However, in your case, you need either 120mm fans or the NF-A15, which will do the job well but is more suitable for the coolers it comes with. For your cases front intake I would recommend the NF-S12A. Noctua claims it...

I just built my 5820k system. Got it for $300 at Microcenter.

My brand new 980 might not even get out of its box

Nope, just ordered my parts for a Haswell-E system instead

2011v3 and X99 just came out, they probably won't be replaced for quite some time, especially the socket.

Bought that Asus the other day when it was still 399.99. Can't wait!

I've already stuck 3 Crucial MX100 512GB into machines in the 5 months they've been out. They're great drives.

Using a discrete GPU. It seems there's nothing really to worry about. Thanks all. :awe:

Is there really a huge difference? I bought a single 8GB stick the other day at Microcenter for a mini-ITX build I'm doing for a family member, but as time has gone by waiting for a few other parts from Amazon its bugging me more and more that the system is (so far) going to be single...
