Performance difference will not be very noticeable but it is his call

 

[toueg]

my package deal is running out for the case and power supply so im gonna have to find a new deal or something

 

[slomo4sho]

When do you plan on actually buying and building the machine?

 

[toueg]

most likely after christmas after i get all my money and presents

 

[toueg]

err actually it might even be before that

 

[toueg]

basicially its gonna be in december

 

[slomo4sho]

Prices change almost daily and Intel is releasing their new i7 chipset shortly so prices on most components should go down by December.

I would recommend waiting until a week before the actual build to get the perfect build outlined. I have a feeling new avenues will definitely open up for the same price point by December.

alrite ill guess ill make a new post later on then lol
