Hi,
Reason: I'm looking at upgrading my rig. 1) i'm having issues with my memory/mobo/cpu conflicting when OC'n my memory, mostly due to my cpu bottle necking my ram at 1600 freq. 2) the CPU and Mobo are out-dated. 3) adding a third graphics card which does not fit on my mobo.
Use: I do heavy gaming on dual 1440p monitors (when work allows), mild 3d design, and run two 3d printers off my rig.
Current rig: listed below, the cpu is water-cooled with 360 radiator.
