will this be a bottleneck or shall i just rebuild?

I paid £335 and £215 for my 3930k and RIVE, an additional £60 for the mobo blocks, that was a few months ago though

Latest prices suggest -£30 on the 3930k and less than £200 for the board, RIVF sold for £170 the otherday and currently has a BB Xpower II listed for £175.

Nice little upgrade you're getting yourself Your wallet loves you really

I've seen 3930k's go for 270 and that was before you bought yours, depends who's selling really.

I saw a couple for £300 when i was buying mine, not seen any lower than that recently, they dont show up often enough on the MM though :O

Mine clocks reasonably well though

4770k will be faster than the 3930 in most games. ipc is better..

until games start using more than 4 cores.. which they havent yet

 

[humbug]

If the 3930k rig costs you more than a 3770K / 4770K / 3820 then don't bother, utter waist of money as it will not perform any better in games,

I would rather buy new tbh, what shall i do then? 7990 and 4770k best option?

 

[teppic]

In for a penny in for a pound, I guess

I think so, yes.

 

[HankScorpio]

I think so, yes.

Seconded. Or wait for IB-E. I hear the 4770k is a poor clocker unless you delid it.

 

[beasty6]

is IB-E LGA 2011? and when will it be available?

i may get the 7990 and monitor now if its not too long away
