hello everyone again! i finally decided about the upgrade, tho i read that there were problems with sandy bridge chipsets.. (http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news/cpu/design-flaw-intel-6-series-chipset-halts-manufacturing-recalls-imminent/) my mobo will be a P8Z68v-pro gen3 .. i suppose it doesn't...

thanx radrok. so for conclusion it would be an Asus P8Z68-V Pro and Intel Core i7-2700K. opinions, pros, cons? btw.. i can't find any data about the FSB speed of this motherboard tho i think it would be important to know.

ok last question.. does it mean any good or bad if a motherboard or cpu has integrated graphics? i guess i don't really need these stuff cause my videocard can handle everything very well.

hence i know shyt about cpu overclocking, i'm an easy target to be convinced by better specs at intel's site. :D however i feel like getting to understand your point: althought there are less cores they're faster (6 core 3.33 vs 4 core 3.5), also they perform better in terms of instructions per...

thanks for your suggestion, JrRacinFan! primary use would be gaming, now i guess will decide between these 2: http://ark.intel.com/compare/61275,58664 seems to me now that 2700K is good but still can't get i7-980 outta my head :) i would need to know if the i7-980 would perform any noticably...

the 2700K is indeed the most reasonable solution as i see it now.. so if i choose that along with a new mobo for it, i'll get no worse performance than with a i7-980? i guess i narrowed the possible cpus by now to that 2 cpus.. this is already great help for me, thanx for it! :)

this is exactly what i think about.. there are these "exceptions" which will become everyday releases God knows how soon.. but i guess we won't have to wait so long? i thought about LGA2011 but the cpu-s you mentioned here will be horribly expensive for me - i'm sure about that. for the first...

yes caleb, a quad core cpu is very good now! I still have a dual core but i try to "get ahead" of future hardware needs that's why i'm guessing about a hexa core cpu. thanks for your answer!

thanks for your suggestion NdMk2010! I looked and compared many CPUs, i also compared i5 2500 with these 2nd gen core i7 ones. Well, i'm not a pro at all in this topic but there are huge differences between those 2 cpu-s if i compare them.. i7-980 has 6 cores with 3.33ghz, it has 12M cache, qpi...

hello everyone! firstly, i am all new to this forum and i just want to ask for some advice from those who are more familiar with upgrading a PC. my rig is the following now: Asus P7P55M Intel Core i5-661 DDR3 8G RAM 1333Mhz Kingston Sapphire Radeon HD6990 950W Corsair PSU 7200rpm...
