Yeah, i actually got short after the card and LCD(bought at the same time). lol. saving money for an upgrade on CPU just not sure which one, will be quad core though. is an extreme that much of a preformance increase over a non-extreme?

 

[Poizen22]

if you oc and have water yes. other wise a q9550 will be nice if yo uwana over spend for a litle more the 9650 is good aswell.

 

[mahiv87]

yeah i'll probably get the Q9650 when i have the money. cant really shell out $1000 for the QX9650 unless i find one cheaper on Craigslist or Ebay.

 

[Poizen22]

you can find them for about 650 on ebay, if you really wana shell out that much get nehalem.

 

[thirdshiftdj]
