Going to get it Tomorrow cause its payday for me!! Its time for me to upgrade my rig. Below is the specs.

MSI Z97A Gaming 9 ACK
i7 4790K
16GB DDR3 1866 RAM
2 x Fury X 4GB (hope got stock)
2 x 512GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD

Using back:

Philips 23" 1080p monitor
KB and mouse
speakers
1000W Seasonic Platinum PSU
EK custom loop for CPU.

Now I have a headache.... My radiator for the custom loop is 240mm radiator. Fury X will add 2 more radiator. Are there any casing that could house 3 radiators?

I am planning to upgrade my monitor to a 1440p monitor, if budget allows, get a 4K monitor so I standby the fury X first.

Actually, I just want to experience how it is like to run CF. Cause all these time, I am only using a single graphics card. So, thinking try out 2 to see how is the experience like (run 3Dmark, etc.....see scores also shiok...lol).

For SSD, I am trying to get 1TB to store my things (I got many anime). I was thinking 4 x 256GB or 2 x 512GB RAID 0. Think 2 will have lower chance of failure.

I think a 256/512gb ssd + 4/5/6 TB hdd is better. HDD for your anime...

Nothing special for dual cards.. lol...Need wait for drivers to support CF for new games... Also thinking of using single powerful card instead of dual.

Get 3 or 2TB hdd to store your anime. Ssd is not for storing data. It is more for storing system os and game installation files so that games and operating system can run fast. OS boot up fast and games loading time loads fast. Storing anime on ssd serves no purpose at all it is a waste. Save the money on other parts ba. Got money also cannot anyhow waste ma. Must spend wisely lol.
