Title says all, just for fun. I'm not familiar with PC building at all, but this is what I got. Is this even compatible? [quote]2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 ASUS Rampage III Extreme INTEL Core i7-990x processor Extreme Edition ASUS Xonar Essence STX 12GB DDR3 RAM INTEL SSD 510 Series[/quote] I know you can't build a computer out of just this, going for the most important stuff.
Is that a dual GeForce Graphic card?

Most beast computer possible, you say? Challenge accepted! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vXrnf.png[/IMG] Just the bare bones. 4 physical CPUs/48 total cores, 256GB DDR3 RAM and the best graphics card I could find.

And a watercooling loop. Cooled by a 1080 rad, with 5600 rpm Gentle Typhoons. Or, cool it with LIQUID NITROGEN!
The Sandy Bridge i7 2600k outperforms the 990x in all but a handful of benchmarks, so swap that out in OP and include the Rampage IV motherboard. Although yes Rupert's build would beast everything.

Although yes Rupert's build would beast everything.[/QUOTE] Huh, it does? But i7-990x Extreme has six cores, 12MB Cache - while Sandy Bridge i7 2600k has Quad Core, 8MB Cache plus it's 700$ cheaper. And there isn't a Rampage IV yet? Can't find it, link me? :S
When is ivy bridge supposed to come out? And how much is it supposed to cost?
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30067196]When is ivy bridge supposed to come out? And how much is it supposed to cost?[/QUOTE] Ivy bridge = Sandy bridge with usb 3.0 support by default, and support for 3 instead of 2 screens on the igp

[QUOTE=Dragonblz;30074367]I thought ivybridge was lga 2011 as well, right?[/QUOTE] Yea, but I believe its backwards compatible with lga 1155.
[QUOTE=SpartanV2;30074638]Yea, but I believe its backwards compatible with lga 1155.[/QUOTE] Nah, it's the successor to 1366, it's socket incompatible (pincompatible? :v:) just like 1156 is with 1155 (how would you connect 2011 contacts to 1366 pins anyway?)
Sandybridge will probably go in ivy bridge sockets, but not the other way around.

[url]http://tech2.in.com/india/news/cpus/is-intel-making-ivy-bridge-backwards-compatible/194222/0[/url][/QUOTE] Ah, just looked it up, the 2011's are the "exteme/high end" processors, and come out q4 2011 with the rest of the new sandybridge's
Would Ivy Bridge be worth the cost when it comes out, or would it be better to just get sandy bridge until the price comes down?
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;30067196]When is ivy bridge supposed to come out? And how much is it supposed to cost?[/QUOTE] Ivybridge is Q2 2012 I believe, and SandyBridge E is Q4 2011 pretty sure.
What is sandybridge-E?
