Thinking it over, if I go for this (very likely I will), I'm looking at the following:
Total: $1049 for being an early DDR4 adopter
- $399 for Core i7 5820K (6 cores, 130W) - estimated based on current -E series pricing; doubtful Intel will price it closer to Core i7 4790K at $340.
- $350 for two 8GB DDR4 sticks (if 16GB DDR4 stick is $350 converted from the Japanese Yen pricing)
- $300 for a mid-range X99 board
After that, it is a wait-and-see approach at what AMD and Nvidia offer at the end of 2014 or Q1 2015 for their upcoming graphics card line-up.
I already have that $1000 saved up and waiting to spend it!
It will be hard to retire my X58 platform as it still meets all my needs now but were coming on 5 years this oct so its about time.
And I may also hold out until dec/jan timeframe if I don't like the pricing on DD4.
