[itsgreekpete]

Hey guys, just looking for someone to review my build here. I'd like to stay under 1500. The 5930k is already ordered, so that wont' be changed. I will be using the build for gaming, making games (hopefully), music production, and coding. I do plan on addint another 970 in the furure. Any recommendations/changes are welcome . Or if it's fine as is, I shall order!

Looks good, it is a huge overkill CPU but for that price!!! wow!
If you are doing a lot of music production you might benefit upgrading to 16GB of RAM.
But you don't need such an expensive high clock speed one, you won't really see the difference.
You can snatch 16GB for the same budget that will perform almost identically.

do you think i would benefit from the asus x-99 pro over the x-99a?

Also, can anyone recommend possibly a better case? I have some concerns about heat build up when overclocking.

 

[SproutSchon]

No reason to get the x99PRO unless you are planning to use 3300MHz RAM (lol).

You sould consider the Fractal Design R5 or the Nanoxia Deep Silence 1.
Both provide quiet computing and great airflow.
I have the R4 (the R5 just got with some slight improvements) and I am super happy with my choice.
