I have seen zero improvement using the 2600K. Since I got the 980X back from rma I put it back in the Classy and it is once again the gamer. Higher clock does squat for gaming...concentrate on your video card.

Thanks Rick, I'm actually thinking of keeping both the MIVE and an X58 with a 980 just cause Torn on this cause I like the looks of the R3EBE better (gamer) but am more comfortable benching the Classy

At this point I'm also torn between using either 2 or 3 water cooled 580s. I love the look of tri-sli but not sure the 3rd card would really do anything for me. Probably will make it all three just for the visual if nothing else

I just need to make sure I sell enuf to finance the 2011 setup once it's released
