Looking at rebuilding my main PC that is used for gaming, ripping my DVD/Blue Ray discs to NAS and general day to day stuff. I am currently trying to understand which route to take and which option is best as I know Ivy Bridge is the latest greatest platform on a Z77 chipset, but I still see some sites suggesting for ultimate power and overclocking certain Sandy Bridge and X79 platforms might offer more. I'm a simple sort, could someone give me some general plusses and minuses of both platforms, assuming I want the best most powerful box that will push my gaming and encoding capabilities to the max.
Cheers in advanace and please, no big words
