They say spiders have 8 legs well i guess im a rare and unimaginable specimen. Ive got 9 legs and my web comes from that 9th leg. HaHa.
Comparing the 6-core i7-3930K to any 8-core AMD processor at the moment is like comparing a 6 cylinder Toyota Supra pumping out 1,000 horsepower at the rear wheels to a stock 1995 8 cylinder Camaro with 275 horsepower. The Camaro has two extra cylinders, but which car is going to go faster?Originally Posted by suicidesspyder
There's a reason why the 3930K costs almost $600 and the FX-8350 costs less than $200.

When looking at those numbers take into consideration that the 2500K processor in those benchmarks was released to the market two years ago,is expected to be discontinued in Intel's lineup this quarter, and is only a quad-core processor. In fact, the 920 listed in the WoW benchmark hit the market over four years ago and has already been discontinued. Also note, that the 6-core 3930K isn't even listed in those benchmarks, but for a single client, it's probably on par or slightly better than the 3770K at the top (I'm too lazy to look for other WoW benchmarks at the moment).
AMD's new Vishera (Piledriver) processor is much better than their last generation Bulldozer offering (8150 in the benchmarks), but it's still far from competitive.
GTX 680's in 3-way SLI don't even consume 800W of power, so you'll be more than okay with a 900W PSU for a single video card no matter how much you overclock anything on your system. Although I would personally recommend at least a 900W PSU if you were going to attempt to do 3-way SLI/CF (as this review suggests).

Well after lots of looking around and digging i found a company that looks pretty decent. They have built computers with inventory in their warehouse thats overages. Like most companies to get rid of it they offer great discounts the system alone goes for 5370 but selling it for 2500 dollars. This is the specs let me know if its worth it.

The general consensus is that you shouldn't use dual-GPU cards to multibox with. If you do, you're most likely only going to be using only one of the GPUs at any given point in time. Also, the card is marketed as 4GB, but it's only 2GB because 2GB + 2GB unfortunately does not equal 4GB on dual-GPU video cards.
Do they not offer anything besides a 1200W PSU which retails for almost $300? I guess if it comes in a pre-packaged deal you can't turn it down, but if you have options, that PSU is will only be used to its potential with a tri or quad-SLI/CF setup.
Agreed, In my second pc i have the GTX690 and only 2gb outta the 4gb total is being utilized. My main computer now has the GTX680 4gb single gpu card and the difference is pretty big, at least while playing wow. I can run 15 box on the gtx 690 and it just about reaches maximum memory usage. With the gtx 680 the extra memory allows so much more potential. Wish SLI would work toward WoW since my 690 is being basically half waisted

Looks good. exactly my newest computer build, just downgrade the gtx690 to a gtx680 (4gb model). Also look at the h100i gives you better control over cooling for like 10$ more. I overclocked my i7 3930k to 4.7ghz. that is the gaming mode that came on the new asus rampage IV motherboard. Runs very stable sitting around 50c with the h100i

I have the H100 also for my FX-8350 and its overclocked slightly 4.2ghz, but it stays at about 35c under full load.

So all in all good for the price of 2500 or no. Your guys feedback is what is going to determine what i do. I dont want to half ass a system and be like man wtff.
