Well you cant overclock the i3 at all (apart from a bit of Bclk increasing)

So the Bulldozer will indeed be better at overclocking.

Ok, so if I oc with a good cooler and get good temps will it be better than i3??
or should I just cut the hassle and get i3

I'm thinking of just getting i3 after thinking about it.

in 3 years will this still play games on decent settings???

The i3 is still fast without overcloking, uses little power, you can dump a 2500K/3570K in the board.

As for gaming in 3 years, no idea.
 
Ok thanks,
I will be able to upgrade my GPU later on with a better one without any bottlenecks if i get ivy.
also how much percent chance is there that haswell will be supported on z77

sorry for all the questions,

1.is that mobo any good?? it says crossfire, is it 16x 4x pci e 3.0 or 2.0.

2.Is the 6950 pci e 3.0? or 2.0??

3.also is the shinobi white prone to marks and dirt build up and stains??? if any one has the white one :)
 
mobo is fine.
6950 is 2.0
n im not sure about the white shinobi my 600t doesnt stain as all. dust does build up but nothing a quick cloth cant handle
 
ok thanks
has the shinobi got good airflow??
also what temps do the i3 get too idle and load, or does that vary if you get unlucky and get one that produces more heat??

i have heard the shinobi has good air flow

i3 idle prob about: 30
load prob about : 60
but depends on cooler, temp of the room its in
with my i5 with antec 920 cooler idle stays around 22 and load 50 never gone above 55
but my room rarely goes above 15 degrees lol
 
like what I should buy, like an idea of wat im gonna buy
EDIT: also my 9500gt is displaying a washed out image, i will put a photo tommorrow. on my dads pc with no gpu it is nice and clear
any helP??
