I'm working towards building an editing rig for myself to replace my horrid 3 year old, factory made HP desktop. Essentially I want to know whether I should stick with the older chipset, or move onto the newer X99. The reason why I don't want to really make that jump is because I'm for the most...

Is it worth being the most expensive out of the bunch simply for more features that are more like extras then anything else? Whats the difference between the Rampage IV Black and the other two?

Essentially the question speaks for itself. While i'm stuck between the Asus X79 Deluxe, Asus Sabertooth X79 and Asus Rampage IV Black Edition. I'm entirely open to other suggestions, but i'd also just like to know which would be best for my build specifically out of these three choices as well...

Out of curiosity sake, what other precautions would you take for backing up files? It'll take a while for the HDDs to fill up to the point where it'll be hard to maintain them both, but I'd rather get some info for the future.

So i've been working on a computer build and I just moved into my storage category for parts to pick. I don't know honestly what setup would be the best for my particular build. While my build will be used for gaming, It will be more used for video editing/rendering on Sony Vegas and Photoshop...

Sigh... G.Skill Sniper, Ripjaws X, Ripjaws Z, Ares, Trident X. All different or the same with just different marketing gimmicks? I'm having a hard time choosing which set to stick with. (Hah. RAM. Stick. Get it?) I'm looking for a quad channel kit of 4x8 to use in my x79 mobo, but with all these...

^ I was really hoping to get by with the 2x8 because as you have said, finding a matching set of 4x8 is a little frustrating, especially when I'm trying to order everything through one website. Any recommendations as to the brand of RAM?

^ I figured that 2x8 (16GB) of 1866 DDR3 would be enough to get by, but how much do you recommend as a minimum?

Both of these CPUs look to have great performance without jumping into the Haswell-E line and X99/DDR4 RAM. Essentially I want my build to primarily be used for video editing and rendering, live streaming and some photoshop work. I also plan on oc'ing as well as future proofing my computer for...

^ while it's true that I would need to wait for both the Swiftech fluid and the coil, once I get the coil, I can simply just refill the reservoir every subsequent time afterwards, making it easier in the future.
