This is my new computer. It will be running an FX8350 with 16gigs of ram and crossfired 7970's. I have 3 hard drives a 1TB WD black, a 2 TB Hitachi drive and a 750 GB WD black. Those are the drives I have on hand. The Windows installs are basically so I can game. I do a lot of transcoding which will be done with Linux. I also want to use Linux more so I can learn it better. Have not decided if i am going to use Mint or Ubuntu yet. I had a lot of problems getting my sound to work under Mint but that was 13 I think. Maybe it is easier under the lastest distro. I'm leaning toward Ubuntu though I like the Cinnamon desktop.
