Hey guys, I'm back.

You have to wait for the 3960x to come out next month, that will be king cpu for a good while, if not then:
Ticket Number: 610837 990x maybe around 5% better then 980x, 320 has faster 4k speeds then the 510 and better reliability and ram won't matter, just go with DS ram. Edited by DST4ME - 29 Oct 2011 at 11:45pm |

Ok. Thanks for the solid advice. I'd rather wait for the 3960x, obviously, but this is still one hell of a machine.

It is a hell of a machine however in a month for the around the same price it will lose the crown to 3960x and x79.
