Did you get a Haswell E system? What motherboard and memory did you get? |

MSI X99S 9AC
Kingston 2666Mhz CL14 16GB
Intel 5820K
Case is Corsair 750D
Cooler is Corsair H110i
Well pleased with this purchase, it's a very quiet system and overclocks very well. I can push it to 4.7ghz with a vcore of 1.3 but it does make the cooler a fair bit louder, so I keep it at 4.2 instead with a vcore of 1.25.
This kinda setup my mechnical keyboard makes more noise than the machine itself. |

Gainward? They still make those? 
Most people here were swearing by the G1 Gaming's, 970 or 980. Dunno how they would compare with the gainward model.

I don't see the 980 as a good purchase right now. Go for the 970 since the performance difference between the 970 and the 980 doesn't justify the much higher price of the 980.

Went with the BenQ, after recomendations from others. Was relatively cheap too with todays' deals. I mean all I really need is the 144hz for games that uses it. If I want great colours and 2560x1080, I'll use the monitor I already have.
