Exactly this my most hated term is "bang for the buck".... If your budget is $10000 the " best bang for your buck" is gonna be the very best CPU/mobo/ram/PSU and 3x titan x's
People confuse this with the law of diminished returns.
If you can afford a $1500 CPU that you want then do it.
Has anyone noticed that EVGA name check Broadwell-E in their X99 MoBo Manuals.

X99 FTW...
My Current rig (for info):
i5 3570k @4.7 Ghz
Asrock Z77 Extreme4
16gb Ram
2 x EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB SLI
Win 7 x64
Samsung 840 500GB
My PC is currently hooked to my 46 inch Samsung TV in the lounge, however the wife is letting me have my much desired man cave in the spare room and this...
Well my 2nd 670 arrived yesterday and thanks to Royal Mail looked like this....
Thankfully no damage and all is well.
My first card ran happily @1293mhz on its own, and the new card runs @1280mhz on its own, however when paired up in SLI they only are stable @ 1267mhz. Is that normal...
£160 Inc shipping. Just a bit over half what I paid for other one 2 years ago.
There were plenty of Gtx670s but only the one that was the same as mine.
Well I got a matching evga gtx670 ftw sig2 on eBay. If I ain't happy with it I can always sell them on. At least its scratched the itch to buy a new GPU. Thanks again.
So SLI the 670 is the general consensus.
I'm in the UK so I'm not sure if the availability of 670's is in US but here there are none I can buy new.
However there is a EVGA GTX 670 FTW Sig 2 on ebay for currently £150, so I'll watch that and see, if I can get it for under £200 I may go with...
My only reason for not SLI'ing my 670 was because of the extra complication of SLI, I view it as only if necessary option and would prefer a single GPU option. I can then sell on the 670 to offset the cost of the new card.
What's SLI like these days, the general view I get is mixed, some say...
I own a EVGA GTX 670 FTW Signature 2, It's been a great card.
My overclock on it is great (Max Boost 1293mhz, mem clock @7000mhz, max temps ever in furmark or anything 69C)
I game @ 1080p 60fps and for most games I've no issues at all achieving this.
I can only think of a handful of games...
Ok a quick step by step:
1. Clone your RAID Array to your SSD
2. Go to your BIOS, set to boot from your SSD, set that to RAID not AHCI.
3. Follow the instructions in the answer here...
I did exactly this when I upgraded to a SSD from to WD Raptors in RAID 0.
You can clone the RAID Array to your SSD and then boot from your SSD. I used Macrium Reflect (Free Edition) to do that within Windows 7.
Couple of things to note before you clone.
You need check your AHCI drivers are...
Actually moving the Witcher 3 back means I should be able to get Dragon Age Inquisition out the way and straight into the Witcher 3.
I've got a EVGA GTX 670 FTW SIG2. It's an excellent card but if going to be running 1080p@60 in the witcher 3 / DA:I at Max setting I think an upgrade might be...
