[GH85Carrera]

First off, no Macintosh will work. We run a mapping program that is only Windows based. Nothing wrong with a Mac for a average home computer but I need a monster that I can put together myself.

Right now my computer runs Win 7 Professional and has a single i7-4770K CPU 3.5 GHz 8 Megs cache and 32 gig of RAM with two NVidia GTX 980 graphic cards (4 gig each) and a 1 TB SSD for the boot and a 500 Gig SSD as a data drive and some spinning drives for long term storage. It is taking a week at a time to do just parts of a project. I am looking for a good source for the parts for a killer monster computer. Think Tim Taylor! Arf Arf Arf.

It looks like 2 physical CPUs are the limit with Windows 7, 8 or 10 unless I go to Windows Server software. Win 8 & 10 can handle 512 Gig of RAM and I really think our big bottleneck is RAM. 32 Gig is just not enough as it is pegged out on RAM usage almost all the time.

Where can I even find a good motherboard with 2 physical CPU slots and maybe 8 or 12 cores each. Since Win 8 & 10 can handle 512 Gig how do we even find a 256 gig motherboard and the memory to get it there?

Maybe a good intermediate or at least cheaper step would be a motherboard that will take one more i7-4770K CPU so I only need one more and just more RAM like my current DDR3 memory. 64 Gig or at least 128 as a start.

I would love to find a vendor that will sell me a motherboard, 2 CPUs and the RAM to get to 128 Gig. My current case can handle the motherboard and the power supply is up to it. I prefer to build my own computer.

Any suggestions would be great.
