4970x

ASUS P9X79-E WS

16GB of Crucial Ballistx Tactical Tracer

GTX Titan

 

That's the main parts, you can read more here.

 

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 4970X - This was a sample. Everything I said before about the 3970X applies here... 

 

retired: Intel Core i7 3970X - This was a sample. There is no way I would spend $1000 on a CPU that performs marginally better than one that costs hundreds of dollars less. I'm not planning to upgrade to IVY-E because I can't justify the effort of removing the CPU block to put in a CPU for the marginal performance improvement. I really want the additional cores for video exporting. It makes a big diff. Anything else I do benefits NOT AT ALL from the 6 core processor, and if I wasn't doing that I would just use a quad core. Similar thing I'd actually recommend: Core i7 4930K

 

 

I'm very certain that he meant to type 3970X on account of his statement about not upgrading to Ivy-E, and finally on account of the 4970X not actually existing.

LTT needs to do a whole team personal rig show down.

Pretty sure that Luke still uses the 2600k, along with a GTX980 (reference cooler).

And Linus swapped out from the X79 platform up to X99 a while back. The changes he did went something like this (if I remember right).

GTX590 to a GTX Titan.

X79 to X99

And just recently swapped out his eight drive raid array to a single Intel 750.
