X79 Build what would you do?

[Joshua_Mahr]

So I am getting ready to order my X79 rig. Here are the parts I have specked out. Let me know if you have any ideas or just post your X79 Build or wish build.

Giga X79-UD7
Intel i7-3930k
Corsair H100
Gskill 4x4Gb DDR3-2400 Ripjaws Z
Crucial M4 128Gb (Sata III)
Samsung 830 256GB (Sata III)
Corsair AX1200
CM Storm Trooper or InWin DragonRider (Still Deciding)

I would like any ideas in the case department. Keep in mind using H100 for cooling. and Giga UD7 which has orange (Crazy dutch bas/@rd) Copyright Austin Powers

Any comments or ideas are appreciated!

I'd go with the SeaSonic Platinum 1000W PSU http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=264
has a little better score than the Corsair HX1050 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=245

and as far as the case I absolutely love my HAF932 Advanced
it has plenty of room and great airflow and IIRC the side panels for the 932 and X are interchangeable

Thanks james! after reading the review on the seasonic I dont like its 12v ripple under load but it is a super PSU. Maybe I should say the Seasonic platinum or the AX1200 which is better. Anyone have an opinion on what the absolute best PSU from 1000W to 1250W is?

Since the ammount of ripple is dependent on the amount of noise in the AC line, it seems to me that installing a line conditioner between the wall and PSU would remove it. I could be wrong, I have no way to test this theory since I don't have an O-scope.

AX1200 hands down. It is the only other unit I would buy besides another TT 1500w. I would also choose an OCZ Vertex over any other SATA SSD. Just my thing as I've seen how ridiculously fast they are.

My rig will consist of:
3960x
ASRock Extreme 9
16GB G.Skill Z 2600
OCZ Revo 3 120GB
eVGA GTX 580 Hydro 2 3GB
TT 1500w
Antec 1200 V3
Custom water

Later on I'm either gonna get another 580 3GB or stick with it and wait for Kepler.

Good point PP but a vertex 3 64G and A M4 Crucial 64G the M4 is faster however when you go to the larger drives the OCZ takes the cake.

Black. Yes a noise filter would help but I already have the CyberPower UPS that cleans the incoming for me on all my rigs.

PP don't you think that the SSonic has better voltages under load though. (its 12Vrail never goes below 12.0V)

Its hard to think about leaving the HX series cause the HX850's have been so good to me. Hmmm decisions...

Check the 120GB vs their 128GB (as you have the 128 in your list, not 64).

The 4k IOPS are what counts, and according to the AS-SSD bench score there, the Vertex 3 120 takes the cake. Now I don't have enough time to look up actual review benches but I'm pretty sure the Vertex is going to overall perform better. Even so, I still prefer OCZ SSD's over anything as those are my personal preference.

On the PSU, again I don't have time to look it up right now with work but Thermaltake and Corsair are my preferred brands for PSU's. I'll look it up when I don't have to work 14-16 hours a day.
