What's wrong with this possible build?

This was posted by MaximumPC. Why go with the 3820?

It all depends what you're gonna use it for!

Honestly if anyone is spending the money on an LGA2011 build they should just spend an extra $200 to get a 3930K.

The 850 watts might be overkill, you're gonna be fine with 750w or might even 650w. 

 

On another note the 3820 is fine for gaming, but for video editing and a more work oriented build I would recommend the 3930k. You could just get a good Z77 MB and get the 3770k and it would perform just as good - or even better - than the 3820. You would save some money too.

MaximumPC Mag... Lol.  :rolleyes:

 

It looks like they are not going for a gaming build though, judging by the W7 Pro... Perhaps they think the 3820 gives you more upgrade options, which it does, as does the 850W power supply.  Still, a pretty lolz build if you ask me.  I wonder if they would hire me as a computer authority to keep up with the market and do builds for them...

Just pick up a z77 and a 3770k unless you're going to pick up ivybridge-e when it comes out just a bad time to be building, i think linus said on not the last live stream the one before that to wait a month
