As tech guru said ,thats way too much hardware and i recommend based on the difficulties i faced to rma my gpu that had 2 fans not working and BENT 1150 socket pins on my mobo! Its prolly the best to get your parts from here. I was so unlucky with my shipment so its not always the case but there is a percentage even if minimal to get DOA parts.
TechGuru has a point. But, the 5920K is out of stock at PCandParts and there are no decent PSUs to buy either.And $153 for a single 8GB DDR4 Stick is ridiculous. And there is no GTX980 available. There are 2 X99 boards available to buy though. So I would ship everything but the board.
I would suggest you to not spend so much on a board,and go for SLI 970s.
Even 980s also,if you wanna go to the next level.
And take it from me, if it is available in Lebanon, Get it from Lebanon. You need the warranty/Rma for sure.
And it will be a lot easier if the items are local.
I have two 980s at the moment, in which one of them i will send back to amazon.
And the second one,the working one, even will not work on my i5 3570 cpu, it will only work on an i7 2600.
Just ,as everyone else stated, if it is available here, it is necessary to get it from here!

Also,out of the topic,
Does money grow on trees in your neighborhood? (in case yes, tell me where do you live? xD)
Either that, or probably your dad is the owner of Bank Audi. :p

Haha, no not really, I'm in Mansourieh. I've made a fortune (for my age) on PayPal by selling hacks online (http://johnaudi.com/), but since I cannot withdraw it from a local ATM, I sent the money to an EntroPay card, and then decided I should build a PC.

Looks like I'll get the motherboard from here as you guys suggested, not much of a price difference, helps on shipping load too.
I'll stick with the CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, Case and others from there, is that a bad idea? (Amazon has a great return policy, and Borderlinx as well)

My Amazon account is currently on hold because of some Billing Address issues, I just called and they said they will call me back in 24 hours. Looks like I'll be loading up my funds to an Amazon Gift Card and then purchase the items (making the Billing Address anonymous)

Haha, I'm really delighted to witness a Lebanese digital e-commerce at success, as I've had my share too ;) since 2010 doing it full-time although at small-rate( should I mention that I launched my first website from a cybercafe where [1 hour = 1000 L.L] with very limited resources as I didn't have internet back in time at home and actually -if that helps- I don't even have a college degree not even a brevet due to complex multiple circumstances), well thanks to the recent internet advancement in Lebanon *Sehnaoui*, I'm still planning & developing the "bigger stuff".
Anyways, good luck with your build, your post just comes ahead of mine as I've placed an order 2 days ago for a Samsung 850 pro SSD 512GB along with Corsair Vengeance 16gb ram, it should arrive tomorrow with prime and then I'll just ship through borderlinx, I hope they don't get too buggy on the taxes and customs side with clearance.

What languages do you code in & if you don't mind, what marketing channels do you leverage?

I use C#, but I am creating a driver in C/C++ using KMDF to access ring0 kernel (ring0) against the new anti-cheat update.
A great marketing channel would be ElitePvPers for me, and then people will advertise for you if you create a referral/affiliate system promising them 6-10% - your product will spread just like ants in a day or two, building reputation.

I see you're getting a Samsung 850 Pro SSD, what is the difference between yours and a Kingston SSDNOW300 V (240GB)? Speed wise? (My father got this from China for like 80-90$) Should I purchase SSD online instead of getting a HDD?

The 850 Evo is a very good SSD second only to the 850 Pro in terms of performance, but at your budget you should be looking to get an M.2 SSD, they're faster than SATA SSDs, HyperX is rolling out the Predator this month and Samsung have the speediest M.2 drive, the XP941. If you're getting the XP941 be sure to get the Asus Rampage V Extreme as it is one of the few motherboards that support it.

I think their's already an API for what you're trying to achieve.

In-regards to Samsung's 840 Pro, I've had a great passion to own one, I've read interesting reviews -I don't remember links- about Samsung SSD's despite Kingston,Corsair,Crucial,OCZ, SanDisk.. I choose Samsung SSD 850 Pro for and not limited to the V-NAND chip structure.

I can't really review as I didn't try it yet, I think it'll just do what it's meant to accomplish

Here's a reference:

And obviously I advise against ordering from Chinese websites, lol these guys are just at the top of it in reverse engineering, it's better to get hardware parts from a reputable source,say Amazon.
Just read about M.2, some M.2 SSDs have the same speed as SATA SSDs, any idea where I can find one 4x faster? (possibly for a similar price?)
Sup3r wrote I think their's already an API for what you're trying to achieve.
For C#? Sadly there isn't.
Johnaudi wroteJust read about M.2, some M.2 SSDs have the same speed as SATA SSDs, any idea where I can find one 4x faster? (possibly for a similar price?)
The Samsung XP941 is the fastest out there, but it uses PCIe, so 2-way SLI is your maximum, but you can still go up to 4-way Crossfire
Johnaudi wroteJust read about M.2, some M.2 SSDs have the same speed as SATA SSDs, any idea where I can find one 4x faster? (possibly for a similar price?)
M.2 is not the connection per se, more like form factor, much like SATA Express. M.2 SSDs can use either the SATA III or PCIe interface. Plextor got some PCIe based M.2 SSDs that really fast. However PCIe SSD boot drives, can cause some problems on some boards or OSs.
On another note, the Samsung 850 EVO and Pro are basically identical using the same V-NAND, the controller on the EVO is just less powerful (using one less core). in real world uses i can't imagine you will ever notice the speed difference between either drives.

I came in an issue while ordering with amazon.

I have an EntroPay card which has no billing address, my Amazon account got suspended for ordering with a wrong billing address. Any ideas?
try using the same address you are using for shipping , for billing, it should work.
ironman wrotetry using the same address you are using for shipping , for billing, it should work.
Nope, still got suspended.

A quick google search reveals gyft.com to buy Amazon gift cards(Not personally Tested). Or try talking their customer support at cis@amazon.com and as a last resort you just have to search for amazon gift card suppliers that would accept non address verified credit cards.

Needs a US PayPal/CC.
Hi john, I observed something that day, check your ip address(yes it could be the issue), go at whatismyipaddress.com and check if your ip is listed in a spam db, or if it's a proxy server *TerraNet have bad ip's btw*, if that's the case then it's the reason you're account was closed by amazon as their fraud system would think it's not your cc especially your cc isn't address verified, they would just deny the order for their good.
