Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Very compelling argument....I see what you mean now. I think I will return the mobo for now and consider waiting for skylake or going the 4790k route, thanks.
Yeah you could save some money by going with the X99-A, if putting your card it in the #1 x16 slot blocks your x1 then you can just simply move it to your #2 x16 without any issues.
I work from home and this is my home office setup so work and gaming are about 50/50 with 100% of my time spent on this computer, I don't feel like my aging 920 is cutting it anymore and if I am building a new system why would I opt for an outdated system just to save some money? I update my...
In your budget range you could get away with this:

The difference is that the 5820k is the new Haswell-E architecture where the 4930k is the slightly older Ivy Bridge-E arch. The 5820k build which uses the X99 chipset is going to be more expensive as everything is new and the DD4 it requires is still at a high price premium.
I do a lot of gaming at 1440p as well as programming and light graphic manipulation, so most of the power here is for my O/C pleasure and gaming.

Hard to say some projects take only a few seconds to compile, some take minutes and longer. The biggest one I have is a cross platform compile for 4 architectures that takes around 10 minutes. I know my IDE supports multithreaded compiling...
Pathfinders are all about speed for capping flags and chasing other cappers. Play the Rabbit mode for a while and just focus on going as fast as possible..the smallest decline on the map will give you a few km/h. What I normally do is pick up about 150-180 then find a steep mountain face to ski...
I regularly break 300, I had 310 my last game and got the little achievement, "Gone to plaid". Also had a 260km/h flag grab and got, "That. Just. Happened.". Keep in mind I am using a fully upgraded pathfinder.
