TKC (The Killing Committee) Forum

When I rather obliquely mentioned (months ago) I was going to get a 590 when football season started. Kingloser checked in with me regularly on when I was going to pull the trigger.

So, for anyone interested.....

When the new LGA 2011 chipset and Intel CPU's come out I will be upgrading. Not ecause what I have isn't sufficient...quite the contrary. it really as simple as the fact that I like having the latest stuff, and I can usually afford it.

So.......
When I do upgrade, the following will be availablle at my usual discount rates:
A) MSI 1366 Big Bang X Power Motherboard (Got a "Kick Ass" award from Maximum PC)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130289
B) Intel i7-980X, Hex-Core, Unlocked Extreme processor
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9461&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE
C) 12GB of Corsair Vengence DDR3 Triple Channel Ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233166

And all I can say is that this is is a real fun rig to play with, and occasionallly OC for fun. Its extremely stable.

Anyway....this is a few months away as I heard that LGA 2011 is coming out early 2012....but who knows.
But it is a good opportunity for someone to get a 6 core Intel i7 Extreme processor, with kick ass mobo, and 12GB of good ram, for a real steal.

So cogitate on that.

VERY interested...how much do you think you'll be selling it for?

I'm interested Biker let me know the price.

lol, same here!

Actually after reading an article about Sandy Bridge from Tom's Hardware...I'm probably gonna pass on this. The i7-2600K beats the 990X (which is just a refresh of the 980X) in 99% of tests...and it costs 1/3...the only thing it won in was multithreaded workstation applications.

Yep, the 2600k faster for gaming, but when dealing with 3D stuff and bragging rights, the 980x wins.

You are right
