So I'm building a new box, and I've got a Rampage Extreme V Edition 10 coming to roll with a 6850K. It's going to last me quite a long while, but I'm okay with spending some coin on it right now. My initial impulse was just to go nuts and get 128 GB, worse cast is I toy with a RAMdisk (I might just run some VMs on it at some point, so why not?). UPS backed, so power drops are pretty rare -- I've had maybe 1 in the last 10 years.
I'm also looking at a Noctua NH-D15S to cool this thing, so compatability there might be an issue. Pricewise, I'm not too concerned about it -- I've gone nuts on this thing, pulled a lot of OT just for it, and it's probably gonna last right up until I have to replace things due to hardware failure.
So, suggestions on what I should get? Everything is air cooled, so overclocking won't get extreme -- but I may move to a water loop to squeeze out performance years from now, or if I end up going to a SLI solution. That would bump things up a bit. Looks and lights aren't important to me at all, just performance.
