Hi all,
My finger has been hovering over the buy button for an X11SSL-F based build, when I discovered some of @Chris Moore's awesome suggestions for used kit from eBay. So I thought I should look a bit harder. I've found the following... looks ideal to me, but would appreciate any feedback / concerns I should have.
From what I can tell, this would perform almost as well as my previously planned X11SSL-F + E3-1230 v6 idea, but for only a bit over half the price.
I'm struggling to find a reason not to go this way, particularly as I had hoped my old C2750D4I build would last for at least a few more years yet.
Very interested to hear your thoughts!
