Is it worth it?

Debating on purchasing.

>x58

hey guys, its sandy bridge, just dropped by to tell you i'm better than the old i7!

Depends. You want CPU power or the ability to x16/x16 SLI/Crossfire?

[Aidan]

I just want the ability to use the 6 core along with a GTX580


I know you're an ATI fan but-

[clyzm]

Actually I have no preference. I've used both Nvidia and ATI, I like both companies and think the only reason they're not teaming up is because that would create a serious monopoly and they'd get too rich.

You should definitely go with the X58 then. Sabretooth seems like the best bang for your buck

[Aidan]

this is going to be an awesome computer

[clyzm]

Sounds about right. Just remember the Gulftown series of processors are known for drawing immense amount of power, as is the 580. You should get at least a 750W PSU.

[Aidan]

I'll get a 1000W just to be safe =D
