Hi guys.
I'll need help here. I'm about to build a new system/workstation. Based on Asus X79 mobo (Cpu for start will be i7 3820 and later upgrade). The system will have 2* SSD one for Linux Ubuntu 12.04 and second for Win7 Ultimate. Then 4 hdd Sata 3 as storage. I'm not sure about graphics card either Ati R9 290x or older Asus 7970. But mine concern is about what I've so far find about x79 mobo, is that Linux Distros wont even boot Live CD and if so there will be problem with sound because it's new ACL892. Another concern is what memory kit should I buy, I wanna start with 32Gb RAM and later upgrade to 64 Gb. Workstation will be mainly used as home Lab, running several VM and Virtualized Cisco routers & switches, with occasional gaming. I'm planing having 3 screens probably AOC I236VM. So could you pls give me some advice about running Linux on X79 mobo (make it boot and sound troubleshooting) ,some help which Ati card would be more appropriate and which RAM kit to buy with regards to later upgrade. Thanks for any reasonable advice.
