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.

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.

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

Only the video is keeping it from a higher Windows Experience Score. (Which only does to 7.9)

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.
