NON-AMD build

so at this point i am very happy with the system i have chosen for myself, it has good solid performance right now and has an awesome upgrade path due to the parts i have chosen. this system will be used for streaming, gaming, and virtual machine workloads. i know that some of you are madly in love with AMD but I was just not seeing what i wanted to see out of their parts so i opted for some of the newer intel stuff. i also have experience with nvidia and so even tho they are a bit more expensive i trust them. here is the build feel free to give me some pointers. i had been told that the amount im spending on the cpu i could get a better one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/THvPbv

keep also in mind i do plan to overclock the cpu.

You can really get a lot more out of an AMD GPU - upwards of 30%.

Lol, I want to see you overclock that CPU, we'll be waiting for an invitation from the White House before you can. Also, the 750 Ti is pretty bad price/perforance. Just get something like the 270 for $20 more from AMD that's leagues better.

You can't. That was removed over a month ago by Intel via Firmware.

Anyhow, the 370 is around 40% more powerful. The S12II is worlds better than W1.

It's not possible - It's firmware-locked both from the boards and the CPUs now. Intel threatened to revoke the board partners' rights to the chipset so they fell in line. It's no longer doable.

If Intel is threatening a class-action law suit, it's impossible :D
