Intel 960 or 2600

Hello

Want to rebuild my system and cannot decide which CPU.

INTEL CORE i7 960 or a INTEL CORE i7 2600

On-board GPU looks good but will be using a dedicated twin port GPU graphic card anyhow.

Both seem to be overclockable easy.

The 2600 is newer tech and should run faster and cooler, and it's cheaper!!

Link 3

Thanks for that.

Sandy Bridge it is.

Total cost for super fast PC build only $900 AUS.

Just hackintosh it and you can run FCP X!

Joke apart, what specs (RAM, disk, GPU, etc) did you manage to achieve for that price?

Why would I do that? Going backwards if you ask me lol.

Waiting for it to do this and that...

Sorry $915 ...

2600 CPU and overclock it. $340 AUD

M Board with USB3 $220

Memory 16 GIG $180

Twin port DVI with HDMI,1 GIG graphic card $175

I got the rest of the stuff already and will build it myself.
