Possible X99 build

ThyNameisWAR · April 7, 2015

I recently purchased a NEW 5930k/GTX 960 bundle for $500 because it was too good a deal to pass up.The 960 is going to go into my current G3258 media center.

I no longer build full tower systems nor do I use more than a Single card solution for my GPU so my Dilemma is the following

1. Sell the 5930k for a 4790k and build my mini ITX gaming system in a Corsair 250D

or

Build a x99 system Micro ATX system in my current 350D

or

3. go nuts and build an X99 ITX system in my 250D with this motherboard

and this RAM

~~I havent read the full topic yet~~

~~BUT~~

~~Why the fuck did you get a 5930k and a 960, that is like even more unbalanced then my rig...~~

Read one more line, now it makes sense.

I think I will go off the forum for a bit...

Uh.... if even YOU don't seem to know if you want a new rig or not, then how do you expect US to know?

If you have a use for all those cores, I guess you might as well keep it. But if not, you could try re-selling it and make some money.

The reason I bought the bundle was 1.both parts were brand new and 2. The cost of the 5930k alone is 500+ bucks and I basically get a free 960 out of the deal.

Also I will be learning about video editing in my computer studies degree later this year

Regardless of which CPU I pick I will be pairing it with Single card (ex. GTX 980 or the R9 290)

I also don't plan of upgrading parts in this rig for the next 4-5 years

I plan to finish the system within the next 3 months as that when my first video editing class is scheduled to start.
