Hello,
Hello
I am new to oc.
I currently have a qx6700 overclocked to 3.2 just increased the multiplier.
My motherboard is a gigabyte ga-965p-ds4
G. card geforce 9600gt 512 ram
My pc is about 4 years old.

I was wondering how fast the i7 950 would be compared to my present system
I was considerinig the following
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced PC Tower Case
Asus Sabertooth X58 TUF LGA1366 DDR3 ATX
Cooler Master HYPER 212 Plus CPU Fan
OCZ Technology OCZ PC3-12800 Obsidian 6 GB or
G.SKILL G.Skill F3-10666CL9T-6GBNQ D3 6 GB 1333-999 NQ K3 GSK


GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460 - 1024 MB
Corsair Memory 750W tx psu

Would I see much difference

I use it for photography and my son plays some games

All advice welcome
Gerry
