Which OS will you be running? And do you have a large storage/backup solution planned? 3*120GB SSDs are fine for working from, but what will you do for large files?

[varkk]

How are the SSDs going to be set up? 3 individual disks? a RAID of some flavour or something else?
Also I would think you would want a bit more than 8GB RAM if you can stretch to it. Maybe swap one SSD for a good sized spinning disk and the difference into upping the RAM.
Finally what screens are you hooking up to this?

[Lucazader]

@Varkk he has put in the build 2X 8gb kit of ram.

However i would tend to agree that you only get 2 of the corsair SSD's and then get a high performance mechanical HDD to store all your data for your projects.

What sort of monitors do you have for your setup out of curiosity?

Nice board, make sure Archicad etc will and can take advantage of the extra cores/grunt. Gaming wise there is nothing to be gained from LGA2011 so a Z77 chipset setup might be an option with lots of RAM?

Nice build though. RAID those drives into RAID0 and get a large storage array for those bigger Archicad drawings/libraries

If you want bargain 27" 1440P screens then get these, they are the same LG panels as Dell U2711 and Apple Cinema Display, just A- grade but basically close to perfect

Ive had two and they are great once calibrated, a lot better than the IPS Dell Ultrasharps U2412M and U2311 I had.
