Gee, it's been awhile. I posted a [Build Ready] a number of months ago that was based off of x79 with a 3820. Due to various reasons, I had to change things up. I know that there's a few things missing from the list, but I already have them. (Case, power supply, HDDs, etc.) The case doesn't have any USB 3.0 ports in it, so that's why I've included that handy-dandy bracket. I think I've just about covered everything I need, although the only thing I'm not quite sure on are the fans. From what I understand, they're some pretty sweet fans though, I just happen to need two for another intake and an exhaust fan. I honestly think I'm pretty happy with this build, and I'll be super glad to replace my Pentium D 940 system that I've been using for six years.
