Hey Guys,
I have always used Windows all my life. Never really had much experience with OSX. I love my iPhone and iPad, but never really been able to justify spending the money on a Mac when I could build a faster windows system.
Recently, our WebDev (I'm a Network Engineer) got a new MacBook Pro, and he was like me: Always used Windows, never messed with a Mac. After a week, he told me he has fallen in love.
So, I figured I would give it a shot. After about an hour, I reformatted my work desktop (i5 4670k, 16GB DDR3 2400, 480GB SSD) and I have absolutely fallen in love. I can do everything I need to do in my work environment with no issues at all.
So, with my little introductory spill out of the way...
In about a week Haswell-E/x99 is going to launch, and I'm going to have to upgrade my work PC. And I already don't want to give it up. The last thing I want to do is go back to Windows 8. The system will be a i7 5820k, 16GB DDR4 3000, GTX780, and likely 3x Samsung 850 128GB SSDs preferably in a RAID0. This will be the system... Now, I have ready several posts, but none that I've found recently...
What does everyone think the chances of the x99 System working?
