    Minnesota Rules, also supporting a Minnesotan beer brand makes the beer taste even better. Yes indeed a U2713HM, Not the best monitor, backlight "balance" and corner bleed isnt spot on, no dead pixels though and thats more important to me.

    Haswell: Don't expect significant performance gains

    This is very true, i just am having a battle with myself convincing myself to get IVY bridge.. and since haswell isnt that far out it and the new amd video cards should drop near the same time ( supposedly ). So thats when ill wait til

    Haswell: Don't expect significant performance gains

    regardless of how much faster haswell will be over ivy bridge, haswell is what im going to buy. My i7 920 and X58 chipset need a refresh and i want native Sata 6gb/s and usb 3.0 and a healthy gain of performance wouldnt hurt ( maybe not so much in games but whatever )

    920 upgrade!

    I say stick with the Core i7 920. For a 4 year old processor it still is kicking butt. some games you have to turn a few settings down to run at 1920x1200 but i suspect that has more to do with my 6950 2gb and less about the processor. just wish it had Sata 6 GB/s for my SSD and USB 3.0.. so...
