    New gaming system

    I decided it was time to diverge my server and my gaming needs...and am working on a new gaming system.

    The pile of parts:

    Assembled (for the most part):

    http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...802_173418.jpg


    CPU: Xeon E5-1660 (to be installed) (Xeon E5-2687W temporarily installed) with Corsair H110 cooler.
    Motherboard: Rampage IV Extreme
    Memory: 8x 8GB Dominator Platinum 2400MHz (8x 8GB Kingston 1600MHz 1.35V installed temporarily).
    Video Cards: 2x EVGA Geforce GTX Titan Superclocked
    Hard drives: 4x Samsung 840 Pro 512GB
    Power Supply: Corsair 1200W AX1200i
    Raid card: LSI 9265-8i

    Had a few issues so far...the Dominator Platinums I bought wouldn't clear the lowest radiator nipple, so I installed the 8x 8GB PC3-12800 Kingston sticks until an alternative is found. The board will only detect 48GB instead of the full 64GB, but hopefully that resolves itself once my temporary CPU is removed and the permanent one installed. Samsung SSDs came with a mix of old and new firmware. So still some work to go before it's done...
    Server: HP Proliant ML370 G6, 2x Xeon X5690, 144GB ECC Registered, 8x OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS 240GB on LSi 9265-8i (RAID 0), 12x Seagate Constellation ES.2 3TB SAS on LSi 9280-24i4e (RAID 6) and dual 1200W redundant power supplies.
    Gamer: Intel Core i7 6950X@4.2GHz, Rampage Edition 10, 128GB (8x16GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800MHz, 2x NVidia Titan X (Pascal), Corsair H110i, Vengeance C70 w/Corsair AX1500i, Intel P3700 2TB (boot), Samsung SM961 1TB (Games), 2x Samsung PM1725 6.4TB (11.64TB usable) Windows Software RAID 0 (local storage).
    Beater: Xeon E5-1680 V3, NCase M1, ASRock X99-iTX/ac, 2x32GB Crucial 2400MHz RDIMMs, eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), Samsung 950 Pro 512GB, Corsair SF600, Asetek 92mm AIO water cooler.
    Server/workstation: 2x Xeon E5-2687W V2, Asus Z9PE-D8, 256GB 1866MHz Samsung LRDIMMs (8x32GB), eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), 2x Intel S3610 1.6TB SSD, Corsair AX1500i, Chenbro SR10769, Intel P3700 2TB.

    Thanks for the help (or lack thereof) in resolving my P3700 issue, FUGGER...

    Why don't you wait for Ivy Bridge-E Xeon parts instead of the E5-1660? You're just like two months away.

    Negligible improvement for the single processor Xeons, which will be identical to their i7 counterparts. I also got a fairly good price on it. And it's only be one month until Ivy-Bridge E...
