    hombre go for it the 930 seems like bang for buck chip with OCing for sure. you cna likely pimp a 930 good ram for decent buck. I think my build including IPS monitor came around 2200 with soem premiums on parts. Could probably build one for far cheaper now. I did buy all brand new equipment since i gave everything away to a buddy. If you reuse your case or powersupply or soemthing you could build a new one pretty cheap. And considering the gulftown chips are still like $999 and software vs hardware a i7 quad would set up pretty good for a bit. Just get a mobo that will take a hexacore

    • ahh hexacore is the next thing? future proofing?Hombre_Lobo_2
    • yup. always gotta plan for the future... even though intel will likely change socket size ...deathboy
