There has not been an update to the ultra-high end CPU market since about 2011.  Finally Intel launches its' top-of-the line  Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge-E.

Reviews at Hot Hardware, Anandtech,  PCPer, and a lukewarm reception at Extremetech.

Newegg has a range of build options using the new Ivy Bridge extreme processors.



Note the 1TB SSD in the high-end build.

Probably a very good thing I got my order in when I did. Otherwise, I'd be spending a larger chunk of change.

That high-end Titan video card is just overkill. $1,000 and I really don't know who needs that much oomph in rendering game graphics.

Eggs Zackery why I reach out for advice before buying components.
Left to my own...umm...devices, I would buy the shiniest toys, without knowing what I was getting.

Exactly why I plan on coming back here for advice on a good build, seeing as I plan to get a budget of about $2k for my next one.
After I get a job and save up, of course. ::)
