So, I've got myself a new desktop PC:
* Intel Core i7 4770k (3.5ghz quad-core, unlocked).
* Scythe Kabuto II (I don't trust water cooling).
* Asus Maximus VI Hero (LGA 1550, z87 chipset).
* Sapphire/AMD HD 7950 (comes with a massive fan/heatsink on it).
* 2x 8GB ram (at 1600mhz).
* 1x SSD and 1x HDD.
* Seasonic 850w PSU.
The idea behind this PC, is to buy high-spec'd parts that can be overclocked, run it as is for a couple of years until software requires faster hardware, then overclock and/or add crossfire/etc to it.
