I have not built a new PC in a while. I am still using an original I7 970! With a Gigabyte X58A-UD7 Mainboard, multiple Velociraptors, NVidia GeForce GTX 970. I recently replaced the PS with a quality 80+ 1000W unit. In reality I just surf the net. Back in the day I participated heavily in Distributed Computing Projects, Seti@Home, Folding@Home and the ECCP-109 challenge. I was lucky in the ECCP-109 project to find half of the key. I may get back into gaming, who knows, or if any DCP's are still going on I may return those.
I plan to reuse my current case, just replace and update the fans. I have not kept up with tech, TECH-IMO no longer exists, ars technica is still around and I remembered my old ID and password.
I guess my basic questions are which CPU is currently in the lead Intel or AMD, mainboard and drive recommendations.
Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated.
