all this runs on a homemade water chiller, which I will be using again on my upgrade so what I'm looking for is chip that's going to clock well and last me another 5 years. Looking to spend £600 ish on mobo/chip/ram. Graphics card will be Hd7950 clocked high as I can get it, also is it worth going for a 2011 board and having the option (maybe) 8 core later or even go the 8350 route?
