Salutations and many blessings on all your houses.
So I'm currently running a 3570K and have been pleased with it for years. Times and needs change. I would really like to up my available threads to deal with the large in memory data processing I do every day. I'm thinking even 12 threads is 3x what I have and could chop in half (or more) the time I wait for my threaded workloads to complete.
I briefly considered something crazy like this but I don't want to f*$k with the headaches of engineering samples and also still want some top end clock speed for single threaded-ness.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Intense in memory processing of large datasets (many gigs). Gaming but this is a work computer 1st. Office apps, surfing, streaming, etc.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$500 - $1500
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
Land of the free
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
Complete opposite of fanboy
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
All I need is CPU+HSF, MOBO, RAM. I got the rest covered.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
No overclocking whatsoever. Completely stock.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
My main is a 2560x1440
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
I could wait for Kaby Lake (not here yet is it?) but don't want to wait for Skylake-X. Could wait for Zen if it's worth it but I need specs now to plan my purchase.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Negative
