I PULLED THE TRIGGER!

I finally did it! Didn't quite get to spend as much as I hoped, but I am happy with what I choose.

Even if thats true, I don't plan on upgrading, but thanks for the heads up, The x55 are the only choices in this config.

I never understood that mentality, so for example if in 2 or 3 years I came to you and said, hey for say $500 or $300 I can make your pc faster and more powerful, you would say no? aka like its new, with better performance and much more task/multi tasking ability, aka new pc for $300.

Thats cool, that I can understand but I never understood when people say, "I'm not gonna upgrade that", lol as you see it makes no sense.

but different strokes for different folks.

I can understand that but what I don't understand is the fact that the difference was like $97, was that out of the budget? for that you get 6GB of ram vs 4GB, the ability to upgrade for say $300 in 3 years to a 6 core cpu, and the 920 does much better with multi gpu then the i5, the i5 sucks at it.

Well if that the case then its completely understandable, but then why did you go with the ftw edition of the mobo? you didn't need that and could have saved money.

but that would have been $31 off the difference of the i7 making it only $66 difference, do you know what you gained by going ftw? nothing, its more for somebody that wants to push his oc to the limits, othewise for your use you have nothing that he regular p55 does not.
