So its time! 

I am know some of you are aware, I returned to work last month back to a company i was previously with for 7 / nearly 8 years and I have been saving some of my weekly paychecks and I am ready to finally lay the i7 2600k and GTX 780 to rest RIP!

Well these are kind of the comments i need but with links.... what case would you have went for ?

Of course when it comes to cases its all about personal taste but i am looking for any options... this is pretty much phase 1 :)

 
Pfft... come on... at least get 2 980's xD

Pretty similar to my current build actually, and this thing is a beast... should run everything you can think of completely fine at max settings ;)

I can with my current setup too... but with some things like 30 chrome windows / arma 3 and 10 photoshop windows open it tends to struggle...

I wont be going with SLI to start with, keeping the cost down! .... i do get that feeling i forgot something important tho, and its not the HD or SSD's as they will be coming over to the new build :)

 
I'll agree with the case comment. I think the Corsair series looks absolutely fantastic - I've got the 650D myself, but would recommend the Corsair 750D any day.

If I were you I would scrap the 980 (and the idea of SLI), and simply go with the 980 Ti. It's a beast of a card. Especially in ASUS' STRIX model, it simply is (imho) unbeatable.

Why don't you go for a 980TI? Only a bit more expensive, and it has a lot more power, it's worth it imo!

Ok... there are some sways to the 980TI... that will put the build back a few weeks but adding it to the shopping list, thanks for the suggestions, just did the usual VS search on youtube and google and i see your point!

 
I would wait a few weeks for skylake, boards have been released with DDR3 & DDR4 slots... thats just me though

 
someone always puts a spanner in the works... 

skylake ? that sounds a new level of expensive... or maybe a reduction in price in my shopping list mmmmm

The new Intel processors coming out soon, I'm waiting for them to come out until I buy a processor!

it is the new series of intel processors, 6700k would be the new i7 series, I am personally waiting for it. It will be slightly more expensive than the current i7 model although nowhere near the 2011 socket. It will give you the option to use DDR4 rather than be stuck with DDR3

(There are boards released with dual DDR3/4 boards so you can use your kindly purchased RAM)

Yeah the 2011 socket is expensive! 

Any news on the release date ?... i would like to see prices and if it has any effect on the current prices of the i7 4790k and motherboards

 
Oh then i will need to wait! ... putting a on hold in the title of this topic lol

Thanks for letting me know i am glad i created this topic now
