I never take money but they offered to get me parts ...
I'm leaning toward a 5960x and an ASRock Extreme6 or Fata1ity killer ... I will use this computer almost exclusively for audio work, editing GoPro video (I do not like waiting for renders) and some other "non game" programs
... current rig is P6TSE with a i7-980X , I have a Sapphire R9 290 . I do not game at all, no SLi .
I really like the idea of the Asus X99 WS and the ASRock Extreme11 , but I see a substantial number of negative reviews on many of the higher end boards ... I don't see many people complaining about the extreme6 or Fatality killer .
What do you guys think I should get ? Or should I wait a few months ?
