    So, I'm looking into upgrading my aging build. Current build is:
    Asus x79 running 3930k cpu.
    64 GB ram
    Have 2 970 GPUs (had 3, one died).
    1TB SSD, 1 TB 10k drive, one 250 GB ssd.

    New build, looking at a few things that I need (Eventually).
    Currently eyeing this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108479

    I will be getting an x99 board, waiting on the new -e chips from intel. Not sure if I'll go with 10 core or not.

    I'm using this computer for high-end Virtual environments. Also a few games. Any suggestions?

    Keep an eye on the graphics cards, the next die shrink should make them much more efficient.
    High-end Virtual Reality will take all the power you can buy and then some. I currently game at 4K and have to make some compromises even though my system is considered "very fast".
