Elaborate build turned basic.... SMH

[11Chuck]

I posted a build with the COD Ghost skull thing cut out with crazy water cooling set. Yeah well that went south due to everything going wrong. So This is my new basic build. Some what future proofing, and leaving room for major upgrades down the road.

If it's only for gaming then it is too overkill and there will be some potential improvement if you swap to Z97

Gaming and workstation. I eventually want a 5960k and upgrade to 64GB RAM, but that is further down the road. Thats the only reason I'm going with the X99 platform.
