This is a page I'm building to help me decide which hardware to buy for my next new main
computer system. It has already aged significantly, but I'll leave it here anyway. About
the only part that is still relevant is at the bottom.
Processor
This is the easy bit. I'm looking for an Intel Core i7 4771.

Memory
I'm only looking at 32 GB of unbuffered DDR3-1600 memory in 4 chips. And that's difficult enough.
