great stuff maybe i can have 16gb if i win

I got this board at MC just now with the i3. Plan on getting an i5 2500k in the FUTURE. They said it was the best OC board they had. But i havent used it yet, wanted to know if its worth keeping, planning on getting my i5 WHEN i get it to 4500mhz or 5 if possible. They gave me $60 off because...

so am i understanding this correctly. the #s for ddr3 mean nothing now? ddr 1333 vs ddr 1600 is at most a 5% increase in speed? i always thought the higher the better, but i guess that was for ddr2 only.

i just bought this board at MC for $160 but i havent opened it yet. it seems this board is not up to the times as msi and asus is. it definitely looks great but i dont know yet. microcenter didnt have much selection, but they said it was the best OC board they had.

wtf i get the newsletter from mc but no coupon :(

dont u mean mx? and isnt mx2 fine? i actually got a 40g bottle of cooler master ice fusion for 9$ and its decent but as5 and others would be better

i have the v8 on an amd, it should be used for any application. because the v8 is meant for noise reduction.

alright i am glad i posted, otherwise i would have made an unwise decision. now i need to find a great oc board for the i5 sb. wish i had extra for an i7 :mad:

Yep i go there all the time :D Well when i calculated it was going to be around $200 for the q9550 and $120 for the board. If i go the i5 route its $180 for sb and $150 for board. Which is about the same but isnt the q9550 comparable to an i7? I guess the sb route is sound better now that...

I was GIVEN this AMD, but im a fan of intel so i want to switch back to intel

I guess it makes more sense because of sandy bridge

No, i checked, my 4gb ram will get me around $120ish, my cpu $150ish and my msi board around $105ish. So i would recoup around that much.

I did some searching with i7 vs core 2 extreme and it seems that the extreme processors are well extremely powerful and people say they are around the same speed as the i7 but for cheaper now. My thinking is if im going for a new build i should go for a an i7 since that is the best now an i5...

I am in the market for a new machine. I am planning on spending around $300, i think i can get my AMD 940 BE, board and ram to give me around $300 to $400 on ebay. So i will use all that and maybe a bit more to build my machine. I def want intel. I was looking at the q9550 and i think i can get...
