@podoboy - and a happy new year to you too!
All quiet here as the machine is running faultlessly and 100% relaibly for me. I am going to swap the processor for an Ivy Bridge at some point....but that is about all the changes and shouldn't cause a problem.
Yeh. Good for you !
and Since you have GTX660 Already, I strongly recommend you consider the Xeon E3 1230 V2 too
It can be compared with I7 3770K but way cheaper (approx, 100$), more advance functions and more importantly, Low TDP required
so that it will be good to ITX,Mini-ATX users in terms of temp, fan noise, power.
Anyway, I will be happy to see your new upgraded build later
. See you again and thanks as always
