Intel Core i7-6900K 20M Broadwell-E 8-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 2011-v3

Intel Core i7-6900K - Core i7 6th Gen Broadwell-E 8-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor - BX80671I76900K
Intel Core i7-6900K - Core i7 6th Gen Broadwell-E 8-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor - BX80671I76900K

Pros: Great Proc. I came from the 980x Extreme i7, DDR 3 system.

Cons: None... Not the Extreme but I'm not paying $16xx.

Overall Review: I would recommend.

ORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M4B3200C16W
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M4B3200C16W

Pros: No bad sticks and fast. Also is low profile, meaning will work good if you happen to plan an air cool system. This ram will clear most CPU heat sinks/fans.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would recommend for air cool, but I would have liked some flashier RAM. You know big heat spreaders and maybe some fans to cover the RAM!

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 220-P2-1000-XR 80+ PLATINUM 1000W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Fully Modular PLATINUM rating and has an Eco mode. More then enough cables and a bag. Smaller then it looks... or my old PSU is really big.

Cons: No cons.

Overall Review: I would recommend.

EVGA X99 Classified 151-HE-E999-KR LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Love the board. I only buy EVGA anything. Always top end and never fails and support is great. My whole system is EVGA, but my 6900 proc. I have a strong 4.2 overclock going on air with no effort, just testing the chip out.

Cons: My only issue is the lack of USB 2 headers on the MOBO. Only one and not enough for the USB ports on my Corsair 900D case front panel. I now have two USB port that do not work.

Overall Review: I would recommend, but I would not buy anything else.

Corsair Obsidian Series 900D (CC-9011022-WW) Black Brushed Aluminum and Steel ATX Super Tower Computer Case ATX (not included) Power Supply

Pros: Really large!!! I came from an 800D that Corsair no longer makes. I thought the 900D was just the newer model but it's BIG. I can fit my 800D inside.

Cons: So far no cons.

Overall Review: This is an great case if size is not an issue. Lots of drive space. Saw a youtube video with 4 rads/two loops, was a nice setup.

Pros: Best monitor specs for the price. Menu needs work as others have said, but it's minor. I needed no adjustments really but brightness, and it runs 144Hz. I came from 120Hz really the same to the eye though.

Cons: I have know cons. People say cables are short, but both display and power are a normal 6ft. Longer would be cool though. Speakers SUCK!, But that not why you should buy it.
