Does that change your decisions regarding choice of motherboard, if yes, then what is your line of thought? Many thanks.

This is very useuful information as I'm pretty much in an identical situation of building a new machine. Let me know what you decide Margus.

That's a beast of a case but looks really solid! What kind of temperatures are you running at? I see two digits, something 1260 and 38, would that be the internal temperature and fan speed?

Hi all, With 993 days since the last update of the Mac Pro I am now in the process of purchasing components for a PC-build which essentially means that I will shift much of the heavy lifting to a Windows-based platform. Not having built any PC's in the last years I can see there is a wealth of interesting components to choose from. I have been compiling a list of parts that seem like a good fit but would like to hear your recommendations based on experience. At the moment I am looking at a full size ATX motherboard, a Xeon-processor, internal storage (expanding to external storage later) and good GPU for Davinci Resolve and some Assimilate Scratch work when needed. Motherboard: ASUS X99-E WS/USB3.1 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X99E_WSUSB_31/overview/ CPU: Intel Xeon (good enough to do heavy lifting (together with GPU) of raw codecs such as RED / CinemaDNG etc)) Memory: 64GB ECC (expandable to 128) Storage (system + work): Intel PCI-E SSD 750 series https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/se/sv/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-750-series.html (2 in RAID?) GPU: Nvidia Titan X or Z ? All recommendations are greatly appreciated! Many thanks Michael
