Building a new computer

[JoshM]

i forgot to ask you, are all these components compatible with each other?

Of course...

With exception of the motherboard, I am 100% sure they are compatible. I will double check on the motherboard right now.

Of course...

The motherboard will need a BIOS update I think to fully support the 4930k but otherwise it is fine

I put it in the same league as backing up your data, you should do it if you care about your data.

theres LOADS of guides here on the forum (use google not the poor excuse for a search that we have).

i have a raid 1 in my server because im using old ide drives, in my case it was very simple to set up a raid 1, for professional applications with a big investment you're looking at a raid 5 or raid 6 setup with multiple drives and a raid card.

If that sounds too expensive you have to decide wether to go for speed or safety (raid 0 or raid 1) , that can be done on just 2 drives. if speed is an issue you could potentially use an intel ssd (and people call me an amd fanboy HA!) for a cache (correct me if im wrong peeps) which will temporarily store your data before moving it to a permanent storage setup such as normal hard drives. the benefit of this is an ssd will have much faster read and writes compared to a hard drive alone.

Pick something you want to know about and find the biggest article you can and grab a cup of coffee, im no expert but tis taken me along time and lots of reading to get this far, thankfully linus has plenty of videos in techquicky, ncix tech tips and linustechtips on youtube to give you a quick introduction to get you started, remember to have fun doing what you love.

you've been a ton of help, thanks a lot!

and i suppose you will be cracking all the software? because it will definitely not fit in your budget

Just because you didnt say so in your post, i'd like to mention that your total price is $2566 without taxes or shipping costs and with the x79 deluxe motherboard and $2683 with the more expensive motherboard.
