Me personally i just bought a 1950x, custom loop, and the asrock mobo. right now i only have 16gb of ram (2x 8gb sticks) but i'll be getting more down the road since all this cost so much i was only able to pick up a $20 gtx 560ti.. but at least i have all the cpu power to rule the world now.
my old system was an i7-3770k but that got fried thanks to a roof leak.
