Ok guys,
after declaring which of the CPUs where the best for my problem in Cloud Computing and in some case gaming in an other thread: click it is the core i7 3930k.
So now i am writing down the complet rig:
GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX780 Superclocked ACX
MB - ASUS P9X79 DELUXE
Case - CM STORM Trooper
SSD - Samsung SSD840 256GB 7mm, Pro
CPU Cooling - NOCTUA NH-D14 SE2011
RAM - Kingston 16GB KIT DDR3 2400MHz CL11 HyperX Beast Series
PSU - Enermax Revolution87+ 750W Gold
HDD - RAID 10 Western Digital Red 1000GB 64MB cache

Any suggestions? I would very appreciate it. Thank you.

What is your cloud computing issue?

As far as gaming, I personally would use the i5-3570k or 4670k, drop either the cooler down a notch, or go with 8gb RAM, and use the money for a second gtx 780. Again, I don't know what your first issue is.

Couple suggestions/question

PSU - That Enermax unit is awesome for efficiency. According to jonnyguru, the gold unit almost qualifies for platinum. Moreover, it carries that efficiency all the way down to 10% usage, which is rare. However, if you're going for stability, I'd recommend a Seasonic unit. Enermax's Voltage regulation on that PSU is good, but not great.

Raid 10 - do you need to be able to lose a HDD with zero performance loss? If your system can do with lower performance in the event...

Raid 10 - do you need to be able to lose a HDD with zero performance loss? If your system can do with lower performance in the event of a HDD failure, raid 5 would offer easier scalability (or even 6 for extra redundancy), and with 4+ drives, higher throughput than 10.

I would like to run some cloud devices on that computer too, some for testing purpose and some for real use. And in my older thread HERE we discussed that for clouding and gaming it would be mostly better to use 3930k than 4770k in purpose that the 3930k can handle the clouding better than the 4770k. This is the goal. What do you think?
