Haha no, that is not it at all. It just doesn't interest me in the slightest, obviously from other peoples posts here there are people that are interested. My previous posts were fueled with some drink, so I will apologise for some trollish posts lol. I still feel the same though, so I will attempt to avoid these PC system threads and if I acidently open one I will just have to close my eyes Oh and to make us equal I will put something you will find very boring in my sig

Fair enough.

Anyone building a new rig at the moment would be totally insane to buy anything other than a Core i7 2600K .

It blows away all the old school i7 CPU's, is multiplier unlocked (overclocking to about 4.8 Ghz aircooled), and is as cheap as, especially considering its pretty much the fastest kid on the block even without overclocking all at a mid range price.

But games dont use hyper threading, so why should i pay for something my games cant use? Thats why i will buy the Intel Core I5 2500K

Reviews I have read say that the i5-2500K is the one to get for gaming - the i7-2600k produces very minor benefit in games to justify the extra cost. (it may be justified though if you use heavily multi-threaded apps or do a lot of video editing, etc.)

I'll be getting the i5-2500K too.

I was due a rig refit so sold a kidney and went for it recently:

- CPU: Intel Core i7 980X 3.33GHz overclocked to 4.20GHz
- Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
- RAM: Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel
- Hard Drives: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive and Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
- Graphics Card: x2 GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 in SLI
- Sound : 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
- Optical Drive: Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP 12x BD-ROM / 16x DVD Writer Drive - Black

Impressed with the config and also the heat that it all chucks out.

Overkill for IL2 and CoD to start with, but not for other games I play. Won't make much difference to my gameplay however as I'll still fly like a nob, I mean a noob. I'm also probably compensating for other inadequacies, so please excuse me.

I like very much your config,mate.
I´m currently building a system based in:
Core i7 2600K OC @ 4,6 GHz
1x GTX 580
8GB RAM DDR3 G.Skill 1.5V 1600
Asus P8P67 MoBo
SSD intel 80 GB (only for W7 64 bits and CoD
HDD 640GB 7200 rpm
Acer 26"
PSU Corsair TX 850W

I would like to compare later our performances to see if SLI adds performance in CoD , OK?

Do you get extra kick from an SLI running on 1920x resolution or do you need to have dual screen or higher res for that? In case you do then I'll wait for a while to get the 580 prices a bit lower and buy a second hand 2nd GPU assuming my 850W can still run it.

I thought of the same thing, but then hearing some rumours that X-Plane 10 gets some benefits from hyper threading aside the benefits of multiple cores I decided to go for it as the price difference didn't really rock the boat too much compared to the other stuff. Kind of a 'just in case' selection =)
