Folders:New -bigadv Rig, do I go 1156 or 1366?
I'm throwing together another -bigadv rig. I want your opinions on whether I should go 1156 or 1366. I currently am running a i7-860/P55 Sli FTW and I am experiencing good production. I can get into another 1156 rig for $300 out of pocket(CPU & Mobo). I already have 4gb Ram/HD/Water Cooling/PSU. If I choose 1366, I will need to buy another stick of ram and total out of pocket will be approx $350. Power consumption is a factor, so I am already leaning to 1156. I'm swinging by a MicroCenter next week to pick up the CPU, so I must make a decision. Mobo will come from Newegg Open Box. Give me your honest opinions.
Thanks in advance guy's!

You're leaning more towards another i7-860 with what you already have so that is a no brainer there. But if you would like to venture to the i7-9XXX land I might have a BPU/MOBO/RAM combo for you depending if Fits trades me his 920 D0 for my Xeon.

Seems to me that there is only one option...
 What? Only $14K in CPUs Anyhoo, I'm mentally willing this trade to happen, because you know you want to end up with both system eventually :P |
