just went snb-e

wheeljack12 · 11-15-11, 03:23 PM

I just ordered snb-e parts from newegg canada. Should be here by friday or early next week. Can't wait to try out the new toys. Here is what I purchased:

i7-3930 core i7 2011 processor
asrock x79 extreme 4 mb
16gb of g.skill ripjaws z quad channel ram ddr-3 2133mhz
zalman socket 2011 cpu cooler (dual 120mm fans)

got it all for about $1200 w/tax.

Awesome. Post some pics when they show up.

Btw, what are you doing with that 980.

Sweet upgrade

I've never used an asrock board but that looks pretty nice. The active cooling is definitely a blast from the past but I like it. hope you enjoy it

that's not really an upgrade , its mostly a tad faster compared to his current system . too much overhead anyway lol . but for you CO2 ignorant people that's no problem

your about right. from intel 980x x58 to amd phenom 2 890fx to phenom 2 990fx to intel 980 x58 to x79 core i7 3930. 5. I wish I hadn't done the amd ones though or even got rid of the 980x. anyhow, I am getting a nice chunk of change for my cuurent mb, cpu and ram that makes up for 75% of the cost of the new parts from a guy locally.

Wonder if it would be worth it for me to upgrade. =\

I'd wait until Ivy Bridge.

Very cool dude, not a lot of upgrades these days, so take pictures and lots of benchmarks for us folks that aren't upgrading for a while.

Is that still on track for end of the year/early next year?

Nice, looking forward to seeing the pics. I'll be sticking with my system for a while, the new CPU's don't offer much for me in terms of extra gaming performance which is my main focus.
