something in my box died and looking at either overclocking a 930 or going with a 980x build. Got a few specs laid out but wondering what configurations others are using. pros/cons and such. see if i can narrow down my decision a bit more. going to build case up.

if i go 930 looking under 2k, if 980x around 2700. no monitor or xtras in the price. only need one solid gpu, 6gb ram, have 1.5tb internal storage and same backup but wouldnt mind a faster hd or something with sata6 (i know its not that much faster but a 64mb cache may be better) ssd im not sure is worth it, i dont really raid my drives. cost vs speed ill run singles. esata is a plus on the board with usb3.0. Im just hoping to piggyback off a previous build spec thats similar to what i need so i can do less research/testing and such. i should probably hit up tomshardware but im lazy with an account here.

- < if you bill by the hour...go with the EXTRRRREAM Edition 955. lol.akrokdesign
- some bosses just love seeing "EXTREME" in any hardware specs...vaxorcist
- id say extreme is jsut super high priced premium, but the 980 is priced at the level of the 975. plus the extra 2coresdeathboy
- still a premium but definitly one to think about. especially since i havent heard any plans from intel to make cheaper ones soondeathboy
- anytime soondeathboy
