Well, it appears my home rig has given up the ghost. Darned motherboard died on me. The bad thing is that it was a LGA 2011 socket that seems to have been abandoned by the hardware industry so no viable replacements.

So, what does the community think of the replacement I am planning to build?

Case:  Thermaltake Core V71 Full Tower [^]
Proc:  Intel Core i7-7740X [^]
MoBo:  Asus Rog Strix X-299-E [^]
RAM:   16GB DDR4 2666 (15 CAS LAT) [^]
Drive: 2X Intel 600p - 512GB M.2 MVMe [^] (Raid 0)

That's pretty much the core of the system. I will be able to cannibalize an 850 watt PS and GTX 970 from the current rig along with 2 SSDs and 3 spinning disks.

Had the motherboard and processor since January of 2014 so it's not like I didn't get my money's worth out of them. I am irritated that I unwittingly chose a dead-end socket and chipset Sigh | :sigh:
Hoping that I am not locking myself into that again with 2066 socket.
