Yep, Ultra HD Resolution

For 1080p gaming, one GTX970 is enough for everything. But for that resolution you'll need 3 of them :)
Man, the motherboard is crazy. I didn't even know 32GB RAM is able to be handled by any motherboard. The amount of RAM is crazy, and well-worth it. :)

but you're not building a server :p and 32 and even 16 is more than enough in most cases. And it's new DDR4 memory, with higher speeds

You are a staff, man, and you have GREAT reputation (And I just recently read the Kaspersky blog. Man, both of you were quoted by Kaspersky! Must be lucky MrExplorer and you are). But for me, I am just a nerdy, another user. Unless I get my UNITE and start helping people. If even ten dollars are given by every person I help over five different forums, my gaming life would be set.

Saw you mentioned in one of your comments about playing Crysis. All the games in the Crysis series are awesome. You'll enjoy them. I played through them all on my PS3.

It's really sad that when I graduated as a doctor of medicine, there were no jobs open. After 1 year of waiting and searching for one, I decided to start to specialize anesthesiology in order to improve the possibilities for getting a job. I am just love to help people, and that's why I joined MT in the first place. But, no money has always been a problem, so I get used to it... as the most people on Balkans. Always love the line "never surrender"

Yeah ; it is sometimes sad that people like you do not exist anymore. It is funny because I originally started out as a general physician, too, at the age of 19 (Diploma). I never really got out of India, back then, and served in the army. But soon, as every kid is taught in India to be either an engineer or a doctor, I got fired because somehow my pills were not "helping the wounded". It's long since I forgot every single thing about medical science, but it didn't hurt for me to start out as a computer scientist. Now, I only work for the money and the living (Living in the US >>>>> Living in India). I don't have the spirit to help the wounded and the needed anymore. Because, really, if it were not for computer science back then, i doubt I'd have made a living off as a doctor. Especially with all the patients going to well-known doctors rather than the young and enthusiastic doctor. It's, unless you are a 60 year old, you'll not make a living off as a doctor.

But morality aside, I really need the donation money. If every person I help gives me one dollar, I'll be glad to know I helped five thousand people.

No...that is a supercomputer. All I need is a gaming computer...in fact, I am having trouble getting the five thousand.

I've planned to buy this in 2017. :D

8 cores for gaming?
It's none of my business and money but whether this CPU will not go to waste in games ?. Such 5930K quietly enough and the difference of 5% gaming performance is not worth the extra 400$, but that's just my opinion.
a little test and compare click here

but on the other hand, if we have money why not to buy :)
