Re: Core i5 or i7?

Hey guys thanks for the replies. This particular model is rated 1.65 volts and
designed specifically for the i7 processor. So should be good, shouldn't it?

Re: Core i5 or i7?

Yeah it is a small difference. I was also wondering about future upgrade paths.
Would socket 1156 or 1366 hold more future proofing. If i do go for the i7, how does
the P6T mobo stack up?
Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it.

Re: Core i5 or i7?

I already have the GPU so the i7 rig costs about R6500 and the i5 rig is about R6300.
I will be upgrading from a E2180 and 9500GT so hopefully some better frame rates. :D

Re: Gigabyte Odin 585w

Thanks guys. Prime where did you get that psu from. Did more research
and found out that the 285 needs 40+ amps on the 12v rails so that means
that the 585w is a no go, looks like I'll have to buy the 720w.
Anybody has any experience with Gigabyte PSU's?

Re: Samsung 2333 sw or t220

Thanks for the input Scavenger. Before i get the monitor i will be upgrading my gfx card to either a 4890 or 275. As for the reviews, the 2333SW seems like a solid choice but you made some good points about the 22". I probably will connect my ps3 to the monitor so the 23" seems the better ...
