In this case it is The Tech Report who have updated their recommended system builds, just ahead of the arrival of AMD’s 6 core 1090T CPU so the only 6 core processor in these systems is the ultra fast Core i7 980X.  That 980X sits in the the Double Stuff workstation along with the ever popular Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and 12GB of DDR3-1600.  Other big changes include moving the Utility Player to a microATX motherboard and enclosure to make it even more handy as an HTPC.

You can also catch our recommended builds on the Hardware Leaderboard, which will be updating over the next few weeks.

“In this edition of the guide, we’ve fine-tuned our four main builds, added a hexa-core processor to our fastest config, and whipped up an all-new, quick and quiet microATX system.”
