Took the plunge....i7-980X for sale

Got tired of waiting for the 3930K to become available, so I just went for the 3960K.

Picked up the ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, the RTS2011LC Intel Cooler, and 16GB of Geil 1600 XMP Quad Channel Ram.

Runs Awesome.....

I Have it OC'd right now to 4296.7 just using the ASUS Auto Tune.

Now, what to do with this....
MSI Big-Bang X-power Mobo, i7-980x Extreme 6 Core CPU, 12gb Corsair Tri-channel ram, and Corsair H50 cooler.
I offered it for bidding at $650 awhile back. Got one offer of $500. I can incorporate it into a build for my office and get $750 minimum.
But I'd like to offer it here again in order to help out a squad mate. But frankly, $500 is too little.

I was going to save this for my son and give it to him upon his return from Afghanistan, but I think I'll wait and build him a totally super coming home computer.

Before anyone chooses to sate the obvious, ....."its a 1366 chipset and thats history" ....... I still think this still has a a long life ahead of it. Find me an Intel Exreme Hex core CPU, Mobo, Ram, Water Cooler combo for under $650.

And look at all those slots....Crossfire and SLI ready.

I can absolutely confirm it rocks BF3 without a blink of an eye.

That's a great offer Biker, and again the TKC leaders express our sincerest thanks for your continued generousity to the Clan and it's Members.

This is an amazing deal! I can't believe that you always have something great to offer. You are a real generous man, Biker.

Just so you folks know, I installed that stuff in a New Cooler Master case, hooked up a 1350 watt Enermax PSU (purchased for my box but not yet put in), a 550 Ti video card, and an OCZ Agility 3 SSD.......... just so you can see that it all works as testifued.

Don't mind the wiring.....its only temporary.

But as you can see.......its what I say it is.

Glad to see this go to someone! Like Biker said hate to have seen it go to waste in his engineering dept! Killer deal on all of that.

I gotta remember to purchase that lotto ticket, damn....i keep forgetting..

Its all done and taking up space on my work bench right now.

haha that's the EXACT case I had in my AMD build. That thing is AWESOME for the price. It's a smaller mid-size, but it's really great. I could fit my 6970 in that.

Price must have gone up...it was $30 just a few months ago.

Maybe some of you already know it, i bought the computer so as soon as i receive it i'll do my best to be in the battle in 24hrs
