Hi, After searching through some reviews and looking at the QVL I have opted for the Corsair RAM. I feel fairly safe with this choice. I think it wise to take a step-by-step approach and look to ensuring that all the components work well together. Thus far, I have this: CPU Alt. i7-3930k...

Okay. Many thanks. Did a small amount of research. Like I said, I don't want to get bogged down and this is what I have come up with from the QVL list from ASUS. I figured the numbers like 9-9-9-24 were some kind of performance code and looked up with they mean. Basically, the smaller the better...

Okay, thanks, I'll look into the memory compatibility issue a little deeper. I, of course, have no idea which memory to choose as there's 000s out there. There's a QVL on the ASUS website but even that has dozens to choose from! This is where I am at the moment. Some guy, netrexx (from this...

A bit of both really. I want to be able to get a good spec. and then maybe source the parts myself. It's unlikely that'll I'll build it (although that might be rewarding) as a worry about ruining it by doing so without the expertise and tools.

Superb. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Pibee, Do you mean this; http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/Socket2011/P9X79-E_WS/Manual&QVL/P9X79-E_WS_memory_QVL_130625.pdf It seems to contain a list of suppliers and memory options so looks like you're right.

Hi. I am being told, when looking up memory prices, that my choice of Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 memory is not compatible with my intended purchase of the Asus P9X79-E WS motherboard. Can someone advise which would be a good choice of fast, reliable (I am a...

Hi. I am being told, elsewhere, that my choice of Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 memory is not compatible with my intended purchase of the Asus P9X79-E WS motherboard. Can someone advise which would be a good choice of fast, reliable (I am a trader) of RAM, that is...

Thanks, Sora. Is the brand I have chosen good?

Okay, job done I think. I'll have to sort out the case, which should be pretty straight forward as it's just a box, and then I'm done. Thanks a lot for your, and wtalk2's, help. I'll let you know how it works when it's been assembled. I suspect Mary Shelley will be jealous.

Hi, Thanks. I did like the look of the water-cooling system and, yes, given the cost savings, I think it can be justified. The memory should have said 16GB and would have been two. I think they sell the packs in either 4x4GB or 2x8GB. Do you know what the most efficient memory arrangement is...

Hi. Thanks, that's very generous. I think that you're stacking up the beers very well here. After a brief search of the internet; amazon, newegg, videocards, silentpcreview, cybrerpower, john lewis, western digital) I have the followingL i7-3930k (over clocked to 4-4.5Ghz) £326...

Thanks a lot, wtalk2. I think I've got enough info now to start pricing.

Hi, Just a couple of things that have occurred to me to ask; cooling system(s) and multi-monitor support. Is there anything I need to add to the list or is that included in the CPU and Graphics card equipment?
