I managed to upgrade my system for just short of £500, mainly had to go the ebay route but managed it. (Eg: Motherboard I Have: MSI X99S SLI Plus Socket 2011-3 Enthusiast Motherboard (LGA2011-V3)
Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2658 v3 ES LGA2011-3 12C Compatible with X99 i7-5820K 5930K 5960X
Ram...
On X79 I used hyper x fury 1866 and now ballistix elite 2666 (even though it's limited to 2133). Registered ram not essential unless using server/workstation board.
I am currently using E5-2658 v3 and I must say for the price I cannot complain.
Have done Nero burn for kids and from start to finish it is taking 23 mins approx, where on x79 nearing 38/40 mins. Games (Killer Instinct and Forza Beta) smooth as butter. I have not done any virtualization stuff...
Could I ask for some assistance please? I have an Asus Deluxe X99 and was wonder which CPU to chose out of E5-2650 V3 ES or E5-2658V3 ES. I am stumped and cannot decide even though they are both around the same price point. Will I miss much from 2 core difference? HELP!!!!
