If it’s ‘extreme’ enough then you’ll find it in this build.
Backed by a 20MB L3 cache the i7-5960X certainly dwarfs the quad-coreCore i7-4790Kand its 8MB L2 cache.
Want to see how the Extreme Machine performs?
We built one and benchmarked it here.
TheAsus Rampage V Extremeis another great X99 motherboard that costs north of $500.
The extreme X99 motherboards are purpose built to deliver certain features.
Therefore we went with an all-rounder, theAsrockFatal1tyX99 Professional.
Complete with dualSP120LPWM fans and Corsair’s built-in Link for monitoring/control theH100iGTX means business.
That being said we went with a 32GB kit from Crucial using their Ballistix Elite DDR4-2666 memory.
Honestly we could go either way here as both are exceptional products.
Therefore we have settled for the Samsung SM951 NVMe 512GB SSD and a singleWestern Digital Red 6TBfor secondary storage.
Power, Case
Corsair’sAX1500i1500w digital ATX power supply delivers enough juice to kick start a small planet.
This jumbo-sized chassis is well worth the asking price for hardcore system builders.
Speakers
There aren’t as many 5.1 computer speaker systems as there used to be.
As for the keyboard theLogitech G910 Orion Sparkseems like the perfect fit.
