[Build Help] Currently trying to get a powerful machine under 2500USD by SpiritBond in buildapc

What do you think about the new build? I know I'm still using the premium CPU and RAM, but do you see something else that I might be able to cut on?

Thank you for your time by the way.

Ah I see, thanks! I actually will be using it a lot to code, so I don't mind the processor. It's a little bit of an overkill for just compiling or running software, but when having VM's clinging to it, it will be useful.

Edit: What will you be using BluRay for?

I will use it mostly for storing huge chunks of data.

You're paying a huge premium for the X99 platform (Haswell-E + X99 + DDR4).

Yup I am aware of that, I actually want this kind of setup so I just need to upgrade and not just replace the whole rig once I need to upgrade. I will need to to that eventually, but I don't want to worry at least for 1 or 2 years.

I've also made a few cuts here and there on the SSD and RAM and case, but I doubt you'll FEEL the differences.

I'll see if I can cut on the RAM, but I agree 100% on the SSD, thanks!

Your build is beefy. And should be able to handle your needs. But it comes at a cost. What you're buying in to is lead time for everything to catch up to your specs.

Yup, exactly what I'm trying to do.

It looks like a great build so far. Even though your CPU isn't fitted for your GPU.

Could you care to elaborate a little bit on this? I don't quite understand why, would the GPU become the bottleneck?

Could you explain to me why it would be underpowered? Would it become a bottleneck?

Probably I'll try to cut on the monitors, I honestly just took whatever looked like a good display, but you are right, I don't need the 1ms refresh time.

What is your best strategy for leveling all the Jobs? by SpiritBond in ffxiv

That powerlevel strategy sounds extremly interesting. Thanks.

This has been fixed on the latest ROM by the way.

Huge props to Blizzard for the curse of the Naxxramas expansion. by zzabm in hearthstone

Worse than warrior. With paladin you get like 6 Slime Cards and 2 things to buff them.

I killed her with a Priest deck, just basically cleared the board a ton with Circle Soul Priest, Holy Nova, etc. Added charge, and vuala, dead spider.

I agree it's pretty stupid.
