Hi All,
Was hoping to get some input on this build I just put together. I will use it for intense gaming, and will also be using for some heavy data processing (hence the 32GB). The machine will be under constant load overnight for big projects, so I want reliable components. I'm particularly not sure about the motherboard and power supply, and whether the RAM I've chosen is overkill (cost-wise).
I already have the 7870 from an old build. Thanks!
