Hey guys, so it's been a few years since I've built a system and to be honest I'm pretty out of the loop on current hardware. My office system right now, which I do my VR and Editing on is an P9X79 Pro mother-board, with an i7 76x core, 64GB of DDR3 (I believe) and a Titan X.
I would love to build a new system, I'm curious about Mini ITX and small form-factor, but if that means really sacrificing too much power then I'd rather go Mid/Full-Tower, which is what I'm currently running.
It seems the X99 / LGA v3 motherboards are currently the way to go in terms of ability to use a ton of ram, lots of expansion, usb 3.1 and even thunderbolt? I have a single GTX 1080 on the way.
My main question is:
Case
Mobo/Chipset
CPU
Ram *I think I would need 64GB minimum, ideally upgradeable to 128gb. This probably means Mini-ITX out of the question?
What would you guys recommend? I'd ideally like to come in around around 2k-3k CAD.
Thanks!
