Hello there, Im in the process of my first build and have come to a stand still i cant decide on cpu motherboard and ram currently i have:
Cooler Master Storm Trooper case
Corsair 1200i
Asus Matrix HD7970 Platinum
Asrock OC Formula ac (already want to sell)
2 x Kingston 120 gb ssds
2 x 1tb hdd
Was just about sold on a i7 4770k to go with the board from asrock but to learn about ecc and that the haswells and my new board dont support it put me right off intel and now im back to Amd with a fx 8300 with good power ratings and overclocking headroom but now i cant find any suitable amd motherboards that support ecc and the ecc registered ram to go with, i believe in having ecc and unlocked cpus and credit amd for supporting these features i dont think i'l ever think about supporting intel chips or boards no matter what the benchmarks say
Am wanting to use as a highend gaming/programming/video editing/server grade machine, planning on overclocking cpu once watercooled, and overclocking and crossfiring another card once needed, no doubt will add even more goodies down the track so dont worry bout the 1200i maybe overkill now but wont be in the future
If anyone can help with motherboard, water cooling parts, ram or anything else please do
dont really have a budget but dont wana waste money just keen to buy good quality long lasting reasonably high tech gear
