The Enigma Order

Looks imba.
Id like to upgrade too but Im waiting for AMD to release the 12-core processor in 5 months, can't wait to see how that turns out.

im at my mom on a 3200+  CPU now i feel like throwing it out of the window.

what OS did you pick   +  i suggest you put lots of fans in your case too .

should do   putting 1 fan in front of hard drives worked miracles for me. cuz graphic card put out tons of heat

I guess you have it by now right? Like I posted, I wanted to upgrade as well. I did some research and found out that 12 cores next year aren't gonna be the best choice for gaming. Who needs 6 or even 12 cores when most games can't even use them right?

So I've been looking around the internetz figuring out what to get, and you seem to know your stuff so I was wondering if you could answer me some questions My pc is gonna be quite identical to yours with a few exceptions. I'm mainly going to use it for gaming, or wel.... WoW anyway. Most likely the system is overkill for WoW but who cares right?
Which brings me to the following questions;

- How do you like it, and how does it run WoW and other games?
- I myself am a big Scythe cooler fan but that Noctua you have seems really imba (altough expensive). Would you recommend it? (Noise is a big concern for me)
- I've been looking at your mobo v.s. the P6T (which I believe Mojo has). The two seem very similar to me. What made you choose the Rampage over it's competitors?
- You got yourself an SSD Does it 'work' well with games like WoW? Or is the difference with regular HD's only noticeable when moving data's and stuff? And of course, would you recommend it for a gaming pc?
- What pc-case did you get? (yes I care!)

And the final one; anything on the shopping list that you regret buying? Or has it all been a succes so far?


This PC is hopefully gonna be one of the best thought through buys I've ever done ^^

It's completed and running, yes.

I only have fps lag in wow in dalaran, but that's probably because wow sucks at utilizing multicore CPU's well, all other games i've taken to max settings and they run without the slightest fps lag.

My noctua fan is running full speed with 2 fans on it (comes with 2 standard) and it's still quieter than my old CPU fan+cooler which only had 1 fan.

Better OC features and a reccomendation from a friend. One slightly annoying feature on the mobo is that it has alot of fancy lights on it to make it look cool in the dark, but that just ends up being annoying when all you have is a 1 room apartment and you want to sleep at night, and the light pulses to full brightness at just the smallest movement in the room.

SSDs are awesome and fast for system drives, and the performance can actually be felt pretty well in games compared to an old 7200RPM disk. There's not much idea in getting it for a storage drive, mostly because of the small sizes of SSDs.

Cooler Master Centurion 590

The only thing i regret buying right now is the case, but i bought it over 9 months ago when i started the upgrade process and went for a new case, PSU and GFX card.

Right now I'd go for a Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Chassis

Do the LEDS also turn on when the PC itself is powered off? Cause that would be a concern to me, I sleep right next to it. It's also the reason it's always off when I go to bed though.

The LEDs are always on so long as power is connected to the PC. I just flip the switch on the PSU to turn off the power when i go to bed.

I don't know if the P6T has the same features or whatnot tho.

Just ordered it, went for the P6TD Deluxe due to your input.
Thanks for that, really appreciate it ^^

I did some research and found some user reviews on the R2E that were also annoyed by the lights. I didn't manage to find a single (user)review stating that with the P6T. It probably still has one or two LEDs but I guess it's not a huge light circus, like some people called it on the R2E. For now I can only hope.

I got it the other day and assembled it. It appears the P6T only has a single feint light burning when the pc is turned off, which isn't noticeable with my case, even in a dark room
