All the CPU as in gauging what your needs are, so you can drop the hostility.
Hostility?
Also, the 3770k is exactly the same CPU as the 3570k with HT and a single bump in the multiplier for 100 dollars more.
didn't know there was an unlocked version of the 3570. Just discovered this. But the extra threads are still beneficial, for 100 dollars more im not thinking so atm, if i can get an unlocked 3570k for 100 dollars less then might do that instead, not sure yet. This upgrade is still a ways off. Probably do it around January-February.
If you want so much RAM, so be it. Your money. I personally review with and work 2 VMs with 8GB of RAM just fine. I also do video editing, encoding, and let a friend borrow my machine for Photoshop work. The cheapest 32GB kit is $144 for what you can use on an 1155 setup. That isn't cheap to me.
like i said 16 gb would most likely do me fine, but 16 gb is around 100 bucks, 32gb 150 that is not much difference to me when im upgrading a system. Since I could make use of it not like its wasting it, sure is a little overkill, but I can afford a little overkill atm
The drivers alone are worth paying the extra money. The 680 in most games is 10+ FPS over the standard 7970. More worth it. Up to you, I was just suggesting the obvious.
hmm, 50 bucks for 10 frames isnt bad. I will have to look into it more.

missed this. I run servers in the backgroun, render after effects and premeir projects, VM's, photoshop i use but no need for that much ram for photoshop. It would be beneficial for me to have at the very least 16gb, 32 would be ideal to have some breathing room.
What do you use ur 3960x for? Just wondering because you said a 50-70 dollars difference spending on ram is a lot to you, yet you have a 1100 cpu.
