Well, see, one thing led to another... I treated myself to a 27" ViewSonic monitor in November, only to find my high-end Asus laptop would only run it at 1920 pixels, bummer. Looked into upgrading the graphics card, but we decided to have this built instead :

Case: Corsair Carbide Air 540 Cube Case
MoBo: MSI Z97A Gaming 6 LGA 1150
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz
1TB SSD Main Drive
4TB HDD (x2) Mirror Drives
32GB RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Keyboard: Razer Black Widow Chroma RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Windows 10 Pro

Just got it up and running. To say I'm stunned at the speed of it is a huge understatement. It launches PSCC in 4 seconds. Word launches instantaneously. Downloads go through so fast I can't even be sure they happened :-)

Color me super-super pleased, and pardon my bragging :-)

Well that is something to brag about, it should last you a few years of high speed computing. Congrats on your new machine.

Glad it works well!

With the new keyboard, you may feel like you are back in the 60s?

Cool beans!
Now you may enjoy going into the archives and touch up some of your oldies in your spare time, since it would go much quicker now.
Happy for you.

Yeh, baby! feels good to just work, without waiting for the hardware to catch up, eh?

Sure does! I can actually process in 16 bits now without slowing to a dachshund's pace...

I think we need some sort of Bench Geek score...
