Hi, just a quick question, I'm thinking of buying a 5970 for my first rig, but I'm wondering if my i7 920 (which I'm going to OC) will bottleneck it?

If it will, could anyone offer any advice or suggestions on what CPU to get so I wont get any bottlenecking with a 5970?

Ah, one more question I have is, what's the difference between an i7 920 OCd to 3.2 Ghz and a Stock Clock i7 965 at 3.2 Ghz?

$750... There was an article/review exploring that and the conclusion was that there was no real difference. (cant find it right now for some reason, ill be back if i do)
