Get your Gulftown hexacore action on with the factory overclocked 4.3GHz Core i7 980X option.
If having the fastest 'stock' desktop processors in the newly released Intel Core i7-980X "Gulftown" isn't good enough for you, then perhaps gaming PC maker Origin PC has the answer for you.
While an additional $895 will buy for your Origin Genesis PC a regular 3.33 GHz Core i7-980X, forking over a full $1,044 will unleash the full beast overclocked to 4.3 GHz. If you've ever wanted to boast that your six-cores runs a gigahertz faster than those "other guys" at stock speeds, this could be what you're looking for.

I think you mean most people HERE. Most people, in general, know dick about computers and just use them to do Excel spreadsheets, Facebook, and TurboTax.
if I had money, I would buy one myself...just to say I bought one...
and yes, I can build any type of rig myself....

+1 agree with him...
some of them can even tell the difference between a BIOS to a BSOD..
I've overclocked my own 920 to 4.36 or so, but I could see how this would appeal to some.
Yes... definetely! But if your interested in buying this kind of rig then you must know something about computers, and probably know how to build one.
Most ppl buy these things just to say they did as their insecurities prevent their brain from thinking logically. Like those dumb kids with 16GB of ram and running a 32 bit system (only utilizes 3.33).
You know that pretty much every new game is multi threaded ? Programming is catching up fast...
And who the hell is still running x86 OSes?
Unfortunately it cant count that high...
nope it can't.. still needs motherboard, ram, gpu, ect.
