Opinions on my build

[sam80jr]

I'll try to be concise. My build is as follows:

Chassis: Corsair 800D
PSU: Antec 1000w Gold rated
CPU: Intel Core i7-4930k @ 4.7ghz OC'd (cooled via corsair h100i)
MOBO: Asus P9-X79 Pro
RAM: 16gigs (4x4) Rip Jawz
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 780ti OC'd (1150/3850 +75mV)
SSD: Kingston Hyper-X Series 128gb (boot)
HDD: Seagate 4tb + WD 1.5tb (storage)

Do you think I'll be set long-term for gaming? I'm not really blown away by my PC performance. I know Assassins Creed is notoriously poorly optimized, but in AC4: Black Flag, I can barely maintain 40fps thru most portions of the game (mostly when its a CPU intensive part like in a city w/ lots of NPCs). I was expecting to get like 120fps in every game on highest settings.

Should I upgrade anytime soon or am I just being a picky, never-satisfied enthusiast?

Looks great with the parts you have- however, what's your motherboard going to be?

oh my bad, i knew i forgot something... My Mobo is the Asus P9X79-Pro edition.

It's all good, seems like a great build! You should be getting excellent performance. I don't know about 120 FPS on ultra for everything, but you won't see a difference between 80 and 120 FPS anyway.

Your build looks nice Have you bought it yet or are you going to buy it?

Good looking build, plenty of DRAM but you don't mention what freq, for long term would be looking at 1866/8 or 2133/9 with your combo 😉

sorry for being unclear...i already purchased and built this system. I just added the finishing touches by upgrading from an i7-3820 to the 4930k. When x79 first came out, i bought the cheaper 3820 to hold me over until the ivy-bridge -e came out. Finally its here so i pulled the trigger and grabbed one. Also, with ib-e, is pcie-3.0 finally enabled by default on x79 or do I still have to manually edit the registry key to force enable it?

With IB-E, PCI-e 3.0 is automatically enabled, as long as you're using a supported GPU (some GPUs only use 2.0 still).
