    Use or throw away and buy something else?

    Good day from sunny London. My i7 4930K has arrived and a pair of PNY Geforce GTX 680 4GB are on their way to me. It's time to think about cooling.

    I have an ASUS Rampage III Extreme board unused & boxed I would like to do something with. What CPU would you suggest I buy for the build? It will be for video/stills editing so it has to be Intel. Can I use 1155 on this board? (my choice of graphics card will take over from the CPU for...
