Hi everyone, after selling a lot of my VGA cards, here some new build log for my new Intel Core i7 based setup also featuring the X79 Chipset. The EVGA X79 FTW motherboard is thus my mobo of choice
 
The PSU I am gonna use is the Silver Stone Strider 1500 which I also have laying around and this case:

Sorry for the bad picture, it's just temproal to show the case heheThe Dual G34 project was for me far too expensive, but for this build, an Intel X79 setup seems very doable and still quite powerful too.
 
I'll keep this thread up to date and I promise this build will be completed, it's something that can be confirmed
 
As for the Dacentrurus it's self, that is this fella 
 
It's the brown colored one on the left   

Yeah thanks zophar , I am sure this build will be a success this time, also I kept this soundcard which I plan to use tooz
Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 PCI-E 64MB

Hay thanks xD
 
As the Mobo goes I have the EVGA X79 FTW in mind, since it has the E-ATX Form Factor and it's layout is perfect for my needs

Ideal xD
 
Main VGA goes in main PCI_E slot the second one goes the 4th PCI-E slot which is the 3rd PCI-E x16 from above and the sound card in the bottom
 
Or I place the Soundcard in the PCI-E x1 slot and the main GTX 590 Classified right runder the sound card and the slave GTX 590 Classified two slots under the main card which would be the bottom slot
 
The reason why I keep two slots between the 590 Classies is that they have the room to grab enough good airflow and cooled air

Thanks HeThing xD
As Overclocking goes< that will come all later, I just want to get this thing off the ground first, had so many idea's for this build and now things seem to be falling in the right places

Nice!   Gonna jump on the GTX690 bandwagon later as well?  I know its a hobby of yours to collect the rare edition cards.

Yeah sadly my experience with my former GTX590 was less than perfect compared to my GTX295 Co-Ops.  I had what must have been a bad GPU on the card as one would function fine but when SLI was enabled it lag out real bad and when folding it would crash the project.  I was not happy and shortly after getting the replacement I turned around and had to get rid of it for other reasons.  I wish I had a working one again to really mess with.

I personally would chose an asus rampage board over the evga one, dont get me wrong I LOVE evga its just if you have quad channel memory support why not buy a board with 8 dimms? just my .02

Just ordered this mobo the EVGA X79 FTW :

The Mobo is where I will build this setup from the ground up, as for the GTX 590's I kinda left that idea aside, 2x GTX 680 4GB is what I plan to aim for, since in many cases 2x 680 2GB beat 2x GTX 590 in Quad SLI, so the 4GB variants should give me O-Plenty VRAM for the upcoming years.
 
This will be a cheaper and more valuable move for me in the end picture.
 
As the CPU goes I have the LGA 2011 Quad core on my mind, since this setup will be made for games an 8 threaded Quad Core should be plenty, the CPU I talk about is the Intel Core i7 3820.
 
A 6 core is nicer but these will cost me 250 Euro's more and that is also not worth it for my needs.
 
As System Ram goes, I had Corsair and Kingston on my mind, these two have always brought me great experiences, as the amount goes? 4x 4GB should do it for my needs.
 
So yeah after ordering this mobo I now will order my CPU and memory and from there  I will get a good Intel 510 series SSD, a Plextor Blu-Ray Re-Writer and get this thing up and running hopefully next week if everything goes well :)

It seemed interesting to me I saw Jacob's Video of it and I just wonder would it matter if I connected both 8 Pin CPU connectors even if I would not use them 300 watts?

This upcoming week the first test run should be made, I will keep this thread up to date as I proceed on this beast
I'll also update the pictures once products arrive

Thanks for that 
 
But sadly I have no room for such a thing, yet I do plan to use my Sennheiser PC-360 G4ME Headset for that instead ;)
A good soundcard is needed to get the best out of this high end headset
 
Anyhoo, later on I do plan on getting a Sennheiser HD 800 pro with a separate Sennheiser Microphone and attach these to the Forte 7.1

so you didn't read the "don't go crazy"? 

Ooowww I didn't noes   Now I noes xDDDDDDDD

Some nice goodies right there!

Hay thanks guys
 
Well I did sell 26 VGA cards of my 40 part VGA card collection to obtain these new parts, the moneyz did come from somewhere as that goes, as being 100% disabled I try to earn money from other things, also the reason why I collect things, keep them for a few years then sell them when money is really needed for an upgrade or something like this project
 
It does pay off too, I mean it's been three years since I bought new parts for a new build. So it's not like I'd do this every year like many other builders over here have been doing right
 
Will there be Ivy Bridge CPU's for X79 also? Like 16 Threaded 8 core CPU's? Unless I can chuck an 8 Core Xeon Server CPU in this EVGA X79 FTW mobo also?
 
Just curious about that, my knowledge is greater with Opteron based hardware than this type of hardware, so I thought that I might ask that here likewise
