Buying Advice

[Stera8]

I know the support isn't fully out for ivy bridge but working at a retail store I am a part of intel retail edge so I got a great deal on an i7-3930K processor.

These are the parts I have in my cart on amazon. I want to make sure too that I can use the fan with this case. I also would like to dual boot. Thank you for the help

If I do not remember wrong their is some issues with socket 2011. Look in the forum for more info. i7-3930K is a 6 core Sandy bridge processor for socket 2011, not Ivy Bridge.

If you do not plan on running quad memory channels then 2x8GB sticks is better. Easier to upgrade in the future.

I cant comment on optical drive, motherboard details or graphics card.

Expensive system like this and no SSD?
