Interesting/Weird Idea of using both xbox and pc components

indeed it is man! If you want, you can also get the 955 and OC it to save some bucks.

The 955 isn't apart of that sale, did you look at the pic of the ad I took?

Sorry dude, I was on my mobile phone, so couldn't see the pic.

That's cool. Would you say the 965 is worth it over the other 3 CPU's that are quite a bit cheaper?

I`v heard about this idea on the internet. I think is called XBOX360 emulator. It doesnt even take case space just HDD space

Yes but it depends on you really, what you plan to do with the pc, since you'll already have an xbox in the rig. So if I were you, I'd take the x2 or x3, preferably the x3 (its a hell of a cpu, and if you re lucky, you might even unlock the 4th core) since its at the same price I believe (since I believe you are cash strapped)

Yea, that's exactly what I was thinking! I'm actually planning on selling this after it's finished and see if it's profitable. Obviously it's not going to be a huge market, but I may get a few people interested.

As far as an emulator for the 360 goes, a proper original Xbox emulator that has full game support hasn't been completed yet. Emulators for recent consoles won't be available for quite some time and will be buggy.

Yea, the x3 was what I picked before posting, just wanted some opinions.

I got the 720 and Asus motherboard because they were out of the Gigabyte one. Also got a 1TB HDD to go with it!

I fell asleep last night so I couldn't get pics but will get some when I get home from school.
