@VolumeLowHigh I'm taking your word on it being better

@VolumeLowHigh ivy bridge is the new sandy bridge but 15-20% faster. It releases in april. Intel already said you will see significant drops in prices of sandy bridge when ivy bridge releases(which are said to be similar prices to sandy bridge)

Never the less u have the Asus M5A99X EVO motherboard that I build with in september when I thought FX would be good for gaming and editing and near the speed of intel. I love the board. Has a few layout issues but overall it feels durable and has a great BIOS. Overclocked my 955 to 3.8ghz no problem aith my hyper 212+ and get max load temps of about 51C or lower!

Oh and can you get back to us about how your overclock goes, think the 6 core is worth the extra few dollars over the 4?
Why didn't you wait till ivy bridge releases? Intel said prices would drop a good amount on sandy bridge. I know those chips get decent editing and rendering benches but for gaming your 4ghz 955 will be similar in games. For the price a i5 2500K is better!

@Ryd3r22 ivy bridges? since when did Intel drop their prices? the only INTEL that I ever had was a pentium III. from there I always go for the Underdog
