ok so if i get the 965BE with an overclock of 4.5Ghz with the 670 i know it will bottleneck it but then i can just wait to get the new piledriver cpu's and put that in my system and since there is supposed to be a preformance increase of 10%-15% over piledriver it will not bottleneck the gpu

the other option is i get a 3570k and OC it to 4Ghz but get a 7870Ghz
is it worth taking the chance to see if piledriver is good and i don't think that i will get another $260 for another msi 7870 HAWK to CFX the 7870's so which one is better?
 



Hi :)

Just to add, I seriously doubt you can guarantee 4.5 from a 965... all chips overclock differently...you may get nothing at all on the overclock...

All the best Brett :)

well i'm hoping for a 4.5 OC i would be happy with a 4Ghz OC just to give me some more power usage from the gpu
