    All you need now is a monitor and keyboard, Recon!

    Seriously, that's a very nice collection of components that I'm sure you'll be pleased with. I just received and installed a new EVGA 890Ti Classified this weekend, which Newegg has on sale. I'm looking forward to turning up the video settings and seeing how Nevada is supposed to look.

    You can get that CPU to run at 4.8GHz pretty much effortless and if you are unlucky even 4.7GHz shouldn't be a problem. You will want those GHz' flying around.

    Very impressive...I can't believe the price gouging on the 6700k right now. The price keeps going up, they really need to get more of these built and out the door.

    I'm rocking the obutto revolution cockpit so I'm all set on monitors and keyboards.

    I'm thinking about VR, but I don't think I want to be involved in the first or 2nd iterations of it.

    I don't think I've ever seen a CPU fluctuate as much as the 6700K has. I got mine for $320 4 months ago now, and I haven't seen it that cheap anywhere since.
