@Recon97 its price is $261 do you think i should get it or wait for the successor to the z97 chipset

For gaming you don't need new board,CPUs and rams.Personally I don't think you should buy.But its up to you if you want to stick with the new ha tee hardwares.

I built my current rig when i was 13 and i wasnt into gaming much so i had an intel core i5 4440 and a b85m chipset board with 8gb of ram but now im into gaming and more intensive thing so i thought instead kf upgrading to a z97 and a 4670k i could just get x99. The hardest part now is ddr4 ram which is either so expensive or is cheaper but a green oem version by crucial which would really take a hit on the aesthetics of my build.

I lf you really want the new generation system you have to wait for at least 1 year for their price drops and new motherboards like from Asus which by that time release maximus x99 motherboard which is gunna be cheaper than rampage.After one year,hopefully we will be able to see mass producing of ddr 4 ram and in turn it is then going to get cheap.For just gaming or if you can't wait,just get with x79 mobo.

i think that you would be better off with 4 more gigs of ram and a ssd is a very worthwhile add but other than that you are pretty good

Hi there. Move along, n0thing to see here.

 am doing a RAID 5 setup, but what is the best setup for RAID 5 with 2 TB each?
I am getting my parts on newegg so please can you help me, my setup here ------> https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=19615849
I also have an SSD , will that hurt the setup somehow?
Also, how does one configure such tech?

Amazing post. Everybody needs to see this.

I personally bought a lot of components for my computer second-hand, which was a benefit for me because things like my case came with extra fans, a CPU cooler and some other bits and bobs, and the whole lot costed less than my case would of cost new.

Also, I started off with a second hand 9600 GT OC that I bought cheap, sold that for profit and bought a 5770 cheap, then sold that for more profit and bought my Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB OC new. Obviously it takes some effort to do this, but it just proves that upgrading over time *can* be cost effective.
