Hey all, I've been out of the loop since 2007 or so, which is the last time I built a desktop. Recently, a friend of mine gave me this CPU and another friend gave me this graphics card, so I figured I'd get around to building a desktop. Any advice on the following specs would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: One other question. When I put this into pcpartpicker, I get the error:
"Some Intel X99 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Broadwell-E CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."
How do I know if this will be an issue? Any recommended articles?


Approximate Purchase Date: Early November

Budget Range: $800 after rebates -- Though this isn't including the CPU and Video Card listed as I already have them.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and programming

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website for Parts: newegg.com

Location: Oregon

Comments: Any advice on how to make the build more price efficient would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest a quad channel RAM kit instead. A M.2 boot drive instead of SATA as they are slower.
