Depends on merchants if they got some hardware yet, just need 4 more, Core i7 6800K, AMD Vega, Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 4x16GB 2400Mhz & 2x OCZ Trion 150 series 960GB.

I'm guessing my build will be done on October because of AMD Radeon.

Also... This is my 20th anniversary time.

Nice, I highly recommend the SSDs!  Probably the best upgrade to a PC ever.  My job is finally starting to transition to them and peoples reactions are priceless..

Agreed, these 2 SSDs are only for storing heavy games such as new Doom! I'm so glad i got Samsung 950 Pro 256GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD for booting up operating system.

Hell yeah, should perform nicely!  I think the OCZ is pretty close on the specs to the Samsung.  I have read they will both throttle under loads but I haven't noticed.  I use the NVMe for OS and apps, one drive for games and one drive for video storage.  I render video to the game drive and since I still have the 256gb SSD out of my laptop, I may hook it up to be my Adobe swap drive :)

My motherboard doesn't run NVMe at full speed if you have a PCI card plugged into certain slots..  I didn't notice until I checked the SSD utility a few days later and it said the drive would be faster if you plugged it into an x4 slot...  I was like wtf...  Had to move my wireless adapter to get it up to speed.  It hit 2100MB/s in synthetics after that.  Only 740 before fixing it.

Speaking of Doom, it is probably the most fun I have had in gaming for a long time.  I love it.  I know it has some issues but if you aren't playing against cheaters it is a blast!



Wow what a rig! That is insane and you should be set for a while. Question though. Is there a purpose to the glass plate? Better cooling maybe? Or is it just to show off?

I'll be honest, I had never seen the glass case until my buddy pointed it out and I thought it looked really nice.  It comes with case lighting and I figured what the hell, I'll be cheezy and put in some components that light up...  Now that it's built, I really like it.  It looks good and I can set the MB to change color based on CPU temp. All of the lighting can be turned off of course, but with the right software and music I can also throw a party in my bedroom with the wifey :O

But yeah, it was to show off the build :)  If I was going to drop a stupid amount of money on a PC, it might as well look good!

Edit:  as for cooling, the case does a great job but is probably meant for an AIO or a custom water loop as it has a lot of room and mounting points for pumps, etc...  Great looking case and you can find them in several different sizes.

LOL :P  Not sure...  I didn't expect to like it so much but color me surprised, it's a lot of fun for some reason...  Maybe it just brings back memories of 1994ish for me!  Used to play the kaka out of Doom II.
