I decided to go ahead and build me a new computer... Going to sell off a bunch of the other stuff, including the server, couple computers and so on... The computer I have is over 5 years old now and while it runs fine I can't really do much with gaming because the video card I have doesn't support DirectX 12 (although nVidia claims it does, popped my co-worker's GTX 760 and bang all of a sudden it works but with limited performance). The other issue is that I want to be able to run SATA3 on RAID 10, well current board only has 2x SATA3 ports so I have to run on SATA2, another bottleneck. At any rate I think things will run much better and should be set for another 5 years or more... I really do think the PC market is losing it's steam... The Core i7 260k is about 30% faster over the Core2 Extreme QX9650 (the 8 year old computer) and the skylake is about another 30% faster, so yeah things are getting faster but I think we're heading to a brick wall performance-wise...all due to Moor's Law...
Anyway, the specs...
