Additional Comments:
- Not overly concerned with noise.
- The R16 uses a USB interface, so don’t expect to need a special soundcard.
- I’ll only be doing single screen gaming.
Why Are You Upgrading:
- My job requires I do some sandboxing at home. Min 16G RAM, 32G would be better.

you might want to consider getting a socket 2011 if you are doing cpu/ram heavy tasks. the 2011 socket has quad channel memory (significantly faster for ram intensive apps) and stronger processors. Interesting. I had no idea different socket types had bearing on RAM's speed. I'll read up on it.
With respect to processor speed, would I only see that gain if I were to spring for a 6 core processor? Or would there be a difference between a 4770K and a 4820K?
Looks like if I were to pony up for a 2011, it's an extra $400 between CPU and MBO.

there really isn't much difference between 4770k and 4820k, in terms of cpu performance.
see some benchmarks here:http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-r...
what tasks do you need to accomplish exactly? going for a 2011 may be overkill depending on what it is you are doing and how fast you want it done
