Domke13 Great worhshiper of premature Core i7 ? Do you got any proof of Intel core 965 ? 999$ + 4GB OF good Quality ram + 3 280GTX defeating a E8500 4.3ghz overclcoked with 3 280GTX + Good Qualtiy DDr3 ? I want a proof that it doiing even. a little 3fps higher then e8500 4.3ghz or Equality if you can't show benchmark then it not true word are sharp as razor even i know it i'm not bashing what picture haven't sharpen already a picture worth 1000 words it why i said what i saw on several Webiste most of review of other webiste just compared E8400 / Q9550 not overclocked common ? you lose a BIg 15fps without overclockingmarcthpro

You may have another problem...

The X58 motherboards use 3 slots of DDR3 at a time. So your 2X1gb configuration will not work.

Is there a reason why you need to get an i7? I'm curious because I have the feeling you are mainly a gamer and for the most part, your E processor should be pretty good for most current games.

790i isn't compatible with Intel latest CPU's, so i don't know where u got the idea that he want's to get i7.

To TC: I wouldn't get something so expensive based on LGA775 now. Either get i7 + X58 mobo, something cheaper for your E8400, or keep what u currently have.

Sorry for quoting pics ppl but following on from what people have noticed the 2 pics are different computers for the following reasons

1 - The fans on the heatsinks, 1 has 2 fans, 1 has 1 fan

2 - The ram is different in both pics - pic 1 has solid ram with brackets, pic 2 looks like it has a cut out in the ram

3 - Pic 2 is also on the other linked site with different specs

Something defo up with this rig and pics.

PS- someone rate my rig please, its back on page 23 (ps I aint lying, not that anyone would lie when it aint exactly top rate, but it does what I want and endless pics can be supplied if wanted or cant see stuff properly)

Have fun
