i dont want to drop the money on a M4A79T and i don't like the pci-e spacing on it i wish GB had a good quad pci-e board out but they don't so i have two options risk the MSI or spend the $20-50 on the asus with bad spacing

thought about it as i love my crosshair II to death but it only has 2 pci-e slots though the lack of a pci-e lane switch means higher clocks so you win some and loose some with that lol

I would get the X3 720, but wouldn't it be worth it to throw in $50 more and get e X4 940?

The $50 is all in the eye of the beholder, it will give better performance, but is that worth $50 for an extra core? If you do a cost per core, 720 vs 940

720 - $139 = 46.33
940 - $189.99 = 47.49

Not a huge difference and you could say the diff is the 940 starts with higher clocks.

I wouldn't get a 940 at all. Get something AM3. If you're gaming, just go with the 720.
