Exactly why I asked. I don't know when these things came out. I will look into what you've showed me here. Thanks Brian

So I think i'm ready to build an up to date computer, and I think I have the parts I want. I'm not sure how you get the "dates" of when parts come out, so please let me know if pieces here are from drastically different years, I want the most out of my system :) Corsair 800D Intel Core i7-3770...

Actually after all of this, looks like I might just sell my system, and build a new, better one. I will have my specs later.

Just re-read your post about the newer i7 and that might be the way to go. Ugh, I can't make up my mind!

And I do over clock, and I pull everything I can get out of the CPU.

Part of the reason I like the 800D is because I could fit my truck in it. I do get where you're coming from, but I don't want to downgrade.in my CPU. I want a small upgrade if possible and be able to use my cards. I don't want to have to buy a new processor for at least 18 months, and if that...

A I have done some research on modding the 1200 for EATX and besides losing a little space for cable management (which I don't have a problem with) the motherboard seems to fit fine. I do plan at some point to upgrade to like an Obsidian 800D. On the topic of the processor, I think I...

Well actually it will fit, but it wont be perfect. With a tiny it of modding it will be alright :)

Sadly, my case (Antec 1200) wont take EATX mobos...

I like the look of that last Evga board. I think that and the 3570k are going to be exactly what I do. Thanks for all the information!

Good lord you opened the flood gates! Thank you for all of the info, should make my life a lot easier :) Thanks Brian

I am aware of how Crossfire works, my bad on saying it would "double" the power. ON the subject of a new mobo and processor, what might be a good route, without breaking the bank? I would like to get away from 1366, probably get up to 2011 and get going, but without bottlenecking. Ideas...

Hey Guys, I have 2 HIS Radeon HD6790 GPUs and I would like to run crossfire. The problem I am running into is my motherboard's (Asus Sabertooth X58) PCI Express slots are to close together and because of the cooling, the top card runs WAY to hot. My other problem is when I crossfire the cards...

Hey Guys, I have been running my system for a while now with one graphics card (HIS Radeon 6790 Turbo) and it has been going alright, but for my birthday I received another one. I set everything up and plugged in the crossfire and got going. I immediately had problems. Not only was everything...
