Figure that out first--then come back to configure the build.

No offense to the other members but you should probably ignore uninformed builds that don't consider what the system is being used for.

:P last time I checked a 7990 and 4930k will destroy in any application, with the only exceptions being CUDA-based programs in which the OP is not using and professional CAD work to some degree ^_^

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Yeah but it's probably more expensive than it needs to be.

Also an oc'ed 7970 CF > oc'ed 7990.

An oc'ed 7970 CF is also price wise > oc'ed 7990 ^_^ I also figured leaving PCIe lanes open for a possible second card and/or a sound card since having good audio quality is recommended for both video editing and gaming and/or a network card :)

Actually, a 7970 is $300 when a 7990 is a bit more than $600.

For you, the 7970 is 260 pounds and the 7990 is 550 pounds.

Sorry, posts don't dynamically update :P & a 7990 can be picked up for as little as 520 pounds on Scan.co.uk - the PCPartPicker list does not pick up everything.

A 7970 CF is consistently cheaper than a 7990.
