So im planning on buying a new computer system and having a hard time on deciding on what to get exactly since my budget is bit tight and i need to get the best value for money.

Im considering an i7 950 processor. Price is main factor to consider this processor.

To go with this what would be the optimum option out of intel Dh55hc and intel Extreme Dx58so?

If i am correct Dh55hc is newer out of the two but Dx58so is considerably more expensive.
I would like to know what is the reason behind the price difference

and

also the difference between LGA 1156 socket on Dh55hc and LGA 1136 socket on Dx58so.

So what would be the best option for the i7 950?

Thanks :)
 
Solution
First off, you can only use the 1366 socket with the i7-950. (not 1136 as you typed) That board is more expensive than the 1156 socket board because it uses triple channel memory for one thing.
