    Macusn got a reaction from Zando_ in General Intel HEDT Xeon/i7 Discussion   
    All
    Just found this thread, loving it,  and I am sort of getting ready to up my x58 set up.  Building a new PC and will give the x58 to my 14 year old son. 
    Asus p6x58 delux
    Intel 950
    Cooler master (212?) with push pull
    12 gigs ram
     Corsair 850w P
     various drives including an SSD (what a difference that made!),   card reader
     lightning fast GTX 460
     Cooler Master ATX case. 
    I will need to get him a better graphics card but I have picked up a 980x to drop in after I get the other build done to give us 6 cores (waiting on an adapter from Noctura, coming from AU so 3 weeks for the new build).  I have never flashed the BIOS so that will be the scary part for me.
     
    I built this system 8-9 years ago and wanted it to work for me for a while and its still going strong.  The last gaming I did was COD 3/4 back in the days and I have never updated the GPU (did have to replace one that died).  I think with the children growing up maybe I will get a little time to game again?
     
    New build for longevity, getting the years of video of the family edited, maybe that gaming!  I will most likely only over clock to see what head room I have and then bring it back down.
    9900k
    Gigabite z390 designare
    seasonic 850 modular ps
    bunch of ram
    Noctura NH 12 
    Define R6 usb c
    I have a 850 EVO to use as the boot drive.
     
    Waiting on price drops for nvme drive 1tb
    video card
    will add some spinning HD and a Optane 32g NVME to accelerate one.
     
    Might take the 950, find a used mother board, create a server for the house (NAS) (and maybe a mine craft server for the family, daughter likes to play also, but I think that might be better if run from the 9900)
     
    Let you know when I make some progress.
