Next session I work on memory clocks which will do 1950-2000 just need to figure our exact volts for thesee clocks with GPU maxed out.

Wonder how long you could run 1.7v through one on water before the gates parted like the Red Sea

Yes i know
The question is what?
I would go with an i7 of some sort as they will last much longer. My i7 920 at 4.0ghz is most likely still enough to max out any single gpu card and it's ancient. Can't say the same for the i5 of it's generation. Getting an i7 would probably save you money over time.
Probably best looking at 3770 and above or holding out for ddr4 and the cpu's that come with it.
Its a choice between:
3570K: + 900 Physics Points.
4670K: + 1000 Physics Points.
FX-83##: + 1200 Physics Points.
26/700K: + 4000 Physics Points.
3770K: + 4500 Physics Points.
The only AMD option will cost me the price of the CPU. (£120)
Intel options, all i5's are not of any interest to me.
3770K: New £240 + £100 for MOBO. (£340)
26/700K: Used £??? + £??? for MOBO.
i need to get searching.
How about SBE or IvyE?
