New i7 Build

Yeah i was thinking the PRO. Will definatly be going for that.

Not too sure about FSX with NVIDIA cards. I Suppose both run pretty well. Runs good even with my 4870X2

Thanks

FSX runs a bit better (or at least looks a bit better and has less hassles with AA and AF) with nVidia. Might not be the case with the latest cards from ATI though.

For FSX, it's all about the CPU frequency, FSX is soooo CPU dependant, if thats your main game (like me) then you will want to get a nice OC. 2 cards won't make any difference what so ever.

Think im a bit wiery now on Sandybridge after the issues regarding dead CPU's!

I know its caused by OCing and too higher Volts, But im wiery even it being at stock which i intend on keeping it at.

Also the P8P67 series looks lke they have issues as well even at stock, with memory voltage etc.

Im thinking of sticking with the I7 950 @3GHz and the Rampage ll Extreme. Mature tech thats established.

Should i play this safe or not?

Just cant make my mind up!
