After going back and forth and back and forth between x58 and P67 I've decided to go Sandy Bridge P67. Unfortunately I can't afford to play the 980x/990x 1k chip game or multi high end GPUs to keep up with the big boys. Also have no access to LN2 to make the best of these extreme chips anyway.
So on a semi-limited budget and with DICE as my only option for extreme cooling I figure Sandy Bridge will be a good fit for me.
