You can't have 980X's in an SR2, or any i7, only Xeons, as they only have a Single QPI link, Xeons have Dual QPI Links, which is needed for 2> Physical CPU's.

Gimme a few minutes, I'll throw something up.

Spend your money on a car or down payment on a house. Anyone who is going to spend ten grand on a computer is out of their mind. Unless your filthy rich and have nothing better to do with your money.

Inheritance money from my grandad, he told me to spend it on something to help my design career and gaming hobby.

Use the rest for a full watercooling loop and a case, either a MM or a custom made one. That's pretty extreme though, and you really don't need the size of the PCIE SSD. Get a couple of decent monitors too, 2 x Dell U2711's would be very nice, and use the setup well.

To be honest though, spending this much on a PC is very silly, use it on a down payment on a house/car, or on something that will be more worthwhile. Invest it, don't waste it.

Yes. For multi-CPU configs, you want:
E5645 2.40
X5650 2.66
X5660 2.80
X5670 2.93
X5680 3.33

That's not even counting low voltage and UP stuff.

Very sound advice. By next year, even dual hexa-core Gulftown/Westmere will be replaced and there'll be a new king of the hill. That's just how technology goes.
