I am in the process of building a system and through a series of deals ended up getting an i7 960 for free. After reading almost all of the 960 posts I am having a hard time deciding whether to keep the 960 or sell it and buy an i7 930 and pocket the difference. I do not plan to overclock until necessary. This build will be used extensively for my home business and most times I have at least 75 Firefox and Internet Explorer windows opened and around four to six applications running. I currently have:
Cooler Master Black Edition Storm Sniper Case
Intel i7 960
ASUS P6X58D-E
Corsair Dominator 6 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz Triple Channel CMP6GX3M3A1600C8
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Corsair H50 CPU cooler
Intel 80 GB X25M SSDSA2MH080G2R5 SSD
Two WD 150GB Raptors in RAID 0
Seagate 1.5 TB storage drive
Graphics Card - Undecided - 5770 Series?
I do not plan to upgrade this system for at least 5 years, possibly longer with this build. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
