Computers!!!
After looking at the various site on which to order a computer (eg Dell, HP, etc) and still not finding anything that meets my needs and budget at the same time, I have decided it's time to just build my own.
this will be my first time building a computer from parts. I have made many an update, replaced faulty hardware, and played around with swapping bits between machines, but now I am purchasing all new pieces and will be converting them into one glorious whole. Like Voltron... or something.
It took a bit of digging, but I was able to find all the pieces I want. A hulking Cooler Master Storm Trooper case. Standing two feet tall, it has tons of space for drives of all sorts. This will be surrounding an MSI Z89 xPower motherboard. With a dozen sata ports and a built in graphics processor that already supports a 4k monitor, it also boasts an excellent onboard diagnostics system. Within this board shall sit the new Intel i7 4790k. A wonderful chipset that will be giving me over 4GHz of quad-core destruction.
Of course, what would be the point of being able to support 4k if I don't also have a 4k monitor? I can see none, so the Samsung U28D590D now has a place on my desk. With a resolution of 3840x2160, the monitor can not only offer a 4k image with a 1ms response time, but can also offer split screen between multiple HDMI sources.
Beyond that are the simple things like a power supply, a huge-capacity yet still feather-light solid state drive, and a handful of optical drives.
Now I just have to wait for everything to arrive in the mail so I can start the construction!
