so as i was wondering around at work on the internet and looking for fun things to get ...
found this intel core i7 970 chip that intel is selling for $215+shipping and tax or the 960 chip for only $89 + shipping and tax =)
i'd like have a hex core chip like you guys do but at the same time 89 for a 500 chip is kinda nice too...
but too bad i can only get one of the two chips which one should i get?
i was on the bot and the max clock for the chip is "only" 6GHz
what do you guys think?
oh and i am pissed at my 920 chip so HA! i monna sale that stupid chip and buy that! :taunt:
or should i still save my cash and try find a 980x or 990x when that comes out =)?

I take it you are getting this through the retail edge program? They just limit you to one don't they? Do they have any deals on SSD's?

1 only from what I heard. You can add an SSD in for pretty cheap. Intel only of course.
