Hi guys! I bought the V71 a few months back and have finally finished purchasing all the parts for my build, they are due to arrive today! Here is my build, what do you guys think?
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition
CPU: i7 4930K
GPU: MSI NVIDIA GTX 980 Gaming
RAM: G Skill 2x 8GB PC3-19200 DDR3 2400MHz Gaming Memory Kit
Cooling: Corsair CW-9060014-WW Hydro Series H110 AIO
PSU: XFX ProSeries (Black Edition) 750W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply
HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
Monitor: Asus PB287Q 28 inch Widescreen Ultra HD 4K LED Monitor
I will be using it as my design rig so will be building a Hackintosh, with some gaming on the side via Win 8.1

I finally got all my parts, unfortunately the motherboard wasn't working. I finally got a replacement and guess what, it was the Rampage IV extreme instead of black! I am using it until I receive another replacement, sigh!
I've managed to get a Hackintosh working almost flawlessly so far, with a geek bench score of just over 25,000 for multicore!
I have managed an overclock of 4.5GHz at 1.4V but it seems to be heating up reaching 78 and peaking at 80C during geek bench stress test. Is that too high? I mounted the H110 on top, replacing the 120mm fan that came with the V71. I have it blowing air out, I am considering trying it inhaling instead, what do you think?
Also, thank you for the RAM recommendation! I will just get another 16gb kit when I have the funds
So far everything works so fast, the system boots up in mere seconds, and thats including opening up everything I had opened previously.
I have been web designing on a 2008 macbook for over a year and I feel godly in comparison now!
