I would, in a minute.
GPU/Quicksync doesn't do it for me (Archive and Quality). A standalone RDP box with that clocked way, way up would KILL.
That would be my first AMD purchase I made since AM2.
Nevermind.
I don't usually watch any TV on my HTPC; Working, I either work/browse on one monitor and have something playing on another, either video or music. Is there a remote the I can hit "pause" on, no matter what window has focus when the phone rings which only pays attention to mpc-hc.exe or...
Also here with striped 80GB Intel G2s for nearly five years and three systems being hammered as a scratch disc... These would probably be fine as OS drives until the zombies come.
This will last that long:

I've used ASUS "corporate stable" boards in the past; my Mom had one of my socket 775 machines for eight years and three CPUs... this one is sabertooth based, and will likely live longer than a pet.

This has been pretty great for me building software RAID-10s:

I've built a few low-end Haswell workstations with this card, as I have NEVER had any luck using an additional controller with a motherboard's added controllers. This plus...
Rendering queues don't rely a whole lot on extensions, ECC memory or anything else crazy expensive for that matter, so I'll take two (5820K), and crank them. I have an actual workstation for presentation. I had an actual employee from NewTek a few years ago try to give me specs for ~$500...
One of the main reasons you want JBOD is that RAID-5 will use all discs euqually; however many discs you have in the array, they'll all spin-up. RAID basically maximizes the probability that multiple discs will fail within the same time frame.
If a single disc fails, you will NOT sleep well...
I would love a super high-clocked multi-core machine like your Sandy; this thing rarely hits 3.6, which it's supposed to do more often than not. I'd have no problem with her doing 5GHz @ 400-watts on 12-cores. As it is, this is easily twice as fast as my OCd 980X was, with 3-times the memory...
The 920 was bad, no doubt, but so was Thuban. An AMD 1090 couldn't kill an early i7... and the six-core Thuban was basically a 150% C2Q9650 in general use. The 4770K is FAST. In Handbrake a Xeon 1230v3 (slower than a 4770) is faster than my 930 was @4Ghz.
It really depends on what you're doing. For web browsing, my friend's Athlon-II from 2009 with an Intel G2 SSD is as fast as my main rig (which is very fast). A 4770K, stock, is faster than ANY overclocked quad-core Nehalem CPU. Hell; an AMD 8350 is faster than an i7 920 cooled with liquid...
