the Z77 ( LGA1155 ) is cheeper then the LGA 2011 in price and is more aimed for gaming.
marshall mabye a 3570K is bether then the 3770? thinking temps on this of course.
dident have the thunderFX combo in this store like marshal sugested.

Gorman, that idea is not too bad... 🙂

Just have to have dry air/low humidity inside...

[Chino]

Gorman and I were just playing around, sir. lol

You really don't need a twin 3820. An i7 3770k paired up with a MVF or MVE will be a powerful gaming rig. Something like this will be more than enough to play any game.

1 x Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge - Box
1 x ASUS Maximus V Formula/Assassins Creed 3
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i Extreme Performance
1 x Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB DDR3 1866MHz (4x8)
2 x Samsung 840 Pro SSD (Bulk) - 256GB
2 x ASUS GTX680-DC2-4GD5
1 x Corsair AX1200i 1200Watt
1 x Corsair Graphite Series 600T Special Edition
TOTAL: 22,391 kr (Prices taken from ProShop)

I agree with Chino's build but you might wanna change the Dom plats to G.skill trident X as it will mix in with the mobo better imo, but both memories do look really great 🙂

Let's be serious a second: Twin i7-3820 WON'T WORK. In fact, unless your Xeon's specifically state 'dual-socket' version, they won't work in the Z9.

Huh really? I thought the only limitations were
1. CPUs must have the same QPI and RAM speed to work together.
2. CPUs must have the same thermal profile (TDP) to work together.
3. The CPUs must have the same number of physical cores to work together.
4. The CPUs must have the same number of logical cores to work together.

I didn't know you actually need special CPUs to dual them.
