Old school or SB!

[kivan2400]

I have read alot of threads, about the new Sandy brigde.. but some thing tells me that this new processer is not the best if you are a hardcore gamer ?

because if not, is it not just best to buy like the i7-950 ??

I suggest you read the review on the front page and make up your own mind, however it is a very good gaming cpu ...

Since your sig tells me you already have an earlier Nehalem i7 then I would say don't waste your money on a new SB i7, as you will need a new mobo and a new cpu ... which, given the small increase you might gain would likely be a costly and pointless excercise.

Unless you can sell the old mobo and CPU to a mate and not lose any money ??

Your better off getting a fast SSD as a primary HDD or a second caviar black and going RAID0.

No my profile has not been updated because i wanted to overclock my CPU, but I did something wrong and boom! there was a big whole in the CPU socket
but the other things still work

so i thinik i will buy the SB i7 2600K with Asus P8P67 DELUXE Motherboard or is there anything better ?

another question

would you take the kingston Hyper X 2x2 gb 1600Mhz

or

OCZ Gold 2x4 gb 1333Mhz ?

 

[kivan2400]

because i was gonna take a 3x2gb Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz but, then i saw it was 2-channel not 3-channel
