Local sale: Custom built PC

MightyBobo

I'm surprised you went with such an old processor for a recent build? Or did you find a good used deal?

Not trying to hijack, just curious...you might want to throw this in the for sale section, also...

Yep its already up there. Just wanted to post here since more locals visit this part of the forum

I went with an old proc because it was new in box and had the batch # i was looking for. There were only a few hundred i7 920's in this batch # and they are all considered "golden". Did you see the OC and undervolt i was able to achieve? most i7's cant even stand 1.14 volts on normal clock speeds. Anyways I got the Proc for $100. The mobo and RAM I found discounted from newegg. The rest were parts I had laying around from the Core2Quad build. Keep in mind I built this before Intel released IB. There isnt enough jump in gaming performance for me to upgrade again to IB either. Its only a 5-10 fps increase and that is only on gtx 680's or 7970's. Most cards dont bottleneck the 1st gen i7's when overclocked high. I will be upgrading to Haswell though next spring. 8-12 core processors sound pretty drool worthy

And dont worry if any of you have questions feel free to ask. It would be awesome to have some fellows Z owners to talk tech with (=
