Hey folks, just came to a point where I feel like I've kinda hit a ceiling in my rig build. I've acquired a few parts over the last couple years and I'm not so sure in what direction I would want to take this. Please refer to my linked build and let me know your opinions and ideas for what I should upgrade, change out etc. I'm totally up for a case swap and such, and really like the corsair air 540 since this rig also double duties as a web server. The thing I don't like about the 540 is just how excessively large it is. Please recommend parts and upgrades, or even cool modding or water cooling/glass case ideas. If anyone reading this also is a fan of the x990 extreme edition i7, and would like to purchase it from me along with the mobo so I may upgrade my form factor, I would be up for discussing a trade!
The x990 I have is an unprinted prototype manufacture from Intel that runs 3.67 GHz from auto settings of this Asus mobo. It runs extremely cool and has a blazing fast l3 cache. Never maxed out all 12 threads, the thing is a beast. The parts are clean and taken fantastic care of, and I have always run it on its side so paste-burn in has always been perfectly even.
I kind of want to invest in a 4k series itx or microatx form factor, which is why I'm willing to part with the mobo and processor if anyone is interested. The x990 is considered a collectors CPU, and is also fantastic for pverclocking enthusiasts that want to reach the 7ghz milestone with stable load.
For the most part, want tips and ideas for what else to upgrade on my rig.
