Need Suggestions for new Intel LGA 2066 build!

[predalien]

Hello, Y'all! I am doing a new build and I think it is time for deciding what parts to choose! Currently, I am running an i7 5930k on Asus X-99 Pro board. It is not even worth it to RMA my current X-99 Pro motherboard since it has issues with the DIMM slots and plus I can not RMA since my warranty is up (not to mention this is my 2nd X-99 Pro board that has been RMA'D and given me problems: fou My current build as you can see from the above is long in tooth but this new build will be a Frankenstein build of sorts! This new build will include parts from my current build including the memory which is DD4 so it should be compatible with the motherboards I have chosen. If everyone could take a look at my list of new parts and old parts and double check if they will work with the new build that would be awesome. I am a video editor but I am also in the technology sector as well. I need a build with many cores to run virtual machines with Linux since I work with Linux in my current position. My profession calls for more cores, so this may seem a bit overkill but the more cores for me the better and to also mention I am a gamer. I am really keen on the Asus Sage montherboard but it is an EATX motherboard and I am wondering if my case and PSU I chose will support it?

Ofc, u can use the older ram and try to overclocked them to 2666. Worst case scenario : all ur 8 dims will work at 2133/2400mhz. If ur workload is not memory speed dependent but size dependent, it's a good deal.

Really like your suggestions, thank you so much! As for the processor, I think I will have to go with Intel since I forgot to mention I own a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 Pro Cooler that works with my socket type, so I don't have to spend extra $$ on a cooler. I think I am going to go for the EVGA 1000w PSU for a little more headroom. How are Asrock boards? All I have used in my builds is Asus and that is what I am used to and will my memory be compatible?

If your ram was a 4 piece kit (quad channel kit), it should work without any issues.

Taichi is meant for content creators than gamers. So I think you are covered there. Head to the asrock page and look at the io/ports in the specifications. That should help you a lot.

Looks great to me! I just saved myself a $100 on this build.
