So I have been looking around at going intel for myself, had debated (or argued with myself) I5 vs I7.
Had been pricing and looking up prices and all, but had held of pulling the trigger till today.

Seen this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-...020844?hash=item3d18ad612c:g:xCwAAOSwM0FXH789

I'm like hmmmm not to bad. So bidded on it for sheits and giggles. Well I'll be durn......won it.

I will be putting in my 660ti for now till new cards come out and see whats, what. Anything I need to be concerned with this?

Thanks

Looks to be a good deal for the price you bid.
I can see many nights of tweaking and upgrading in your future.

Check everything over as soon as you get it.
Like, make sure all is connected correctly, no parts rattling, and works like it should.
Then, install all of your goodies, fire it up and test.

I'll back it down to 4.6, lower volts. Recheck later.

What's this? No Corsair CX smack talk? Amazing! I can hardly believe my eyes.

Nice rig. A little jealous I must say.

I may or may not have room to talk on the CX subject. Seeing as the first one(CX750) I had died rather quickly. But, after a highly satisfactory RMA, number 2 seems to be a keeper. Not a reman either. They sent me a brand new one. And quick like too. Sent the busted one out, 3 days later new one arrived. Now that's what I call customer service!

Thanks.
4.6 is rock solid. Still tinkering around. I didn't think I would have liked the m2 ssd, but its nice.
Now for the wait for the new gpu's.
