Im pretty new to Tom's and the PC/Tech world, i got my rig back in March and have been learning as i go since then, this site has been extremely helpful and so have the people. My rig is as follows, Core i7-3820 (3.60GHz), GTX680 2gb, 8 GB's of Ram, just wanted some opinions about my CPU as i dont know that much about it or where it stands from bad to good. Here are the Stats Core Temp is telling me as well,

T.J. Max-100c
Power-21.5 Watts
Core #0-38c
Core#1-33c
Core#2-33c
Core#3-36c

Each has a 0-1% Load, the TDP is 130.0 Watts, do these seem like good readings to you? nothing out of the ordinary or alarming? Would appreciate any info or knowledge about this CPU at all, also just out of curiosity how much better than the specs of those new Console's is my PC?

Those temps are fine for idling. What temps do you get under load? I run a 3820 as well and I idle in the low 30s and under load around mid 50s. I use an Asetek 570LX for cooling though, which is pretty nice. In terms of gaming, your PC will outperform BOTH new consoles by a decent amount, apart from being a very capable PC apart from gaming.
