Finally... it's PC upgrade time after nearly 6 years! My evga P55 with Xeon x3460 has served me well, but it can be demoted to my home server now.
On the way:
Dell Perc H310 + SFF8087 to sata cables (for the server, need more than 6 sata these days LOL).
Gigabyte X79 G.1 Assassin V2 + Xeon E5-2630L 6C/12T + 2011 mount adapter for my waterblock.
The new X79 stuff will replace the old as my main workstation/gaming PC. I almost went with an E5-1620 instead, but I decided it was worth trading some clock speed for extra cores and half the TDP. I hope I made a good choice. It's been a long time having the same PC and I'm really looking forward to a 40%ish performance bump. So excited!
