Thank you for your reply. That gentleman has a nice comprehensive list. I’ve done some some finagling and the ivy brige i7-3770 came out and looks to provide a significant increase in performance over both the i5-2500k and the fx-8xxx for only a modest increase in price. As long as I provide enough memory to keep latency low I think it will work well. I would like to see if folks start using the FX series cpu’s soon. Thanks again.
