I don't game. I do video editing, computational heavy programming, and want to start to do gpgpu programming.
I am looking to build my own standalone desktop system. The computer will also be used as a whole house media server, and as such will be based on windows platform, although may dual boot it with linux.
This is what I have thought so far. Do people have any suggestions? The gigabyte motherboard does support xeon processor, so may go that route. I was at one point considering going for a dual socket opteron 6272 solution or dual socket xeon solution, but that basically was too expensive for me.
Some of the parts below are redundant, just because I thought that they were good deals and could use the parts on an old computer, such as one of the SSD drives and the mobo comes with 8gb ram "free," so i can reuse it on an older computer or sell it on ebay. The games come free, so maybe I'll check them out.
