Ok now i don't know what processor to go with either the i7 2600k sandy bridge thats 4 cores = 8 way multitasking or a intel 970 six core = 12 way multitasking and there both 32nm technology but the thing is i would have to purchase a new set of memory because i was going to go with a Evga x58 sli motherboard and it will have triple channel

waiting for the AMD3+ fx-8150 chip to come out i don't know when it will come out so yeh its saying october 12th but ill wait and see
This will be a very nice build and very powerful build ,keep in mind a 6.0 sata drive needs a 6.0 header to support the speed ,or it will default to 3.0 speeds , so make sure your board support 6.0 speeds on the sata drive to take advantage of 6.0 sata speeds
new graphics card just came in
