While I respect your comment I am currious where do you find one of the two Intel made. Seams Newegg has sold out of these the first day it was released.
Tigerdirect does not carry it.
Yes, that is a problem -- no one has the 3930k in stock! However, the 3960X is not a problem to get.....which ultimately, may be the deciding factor.
I suggest holding out for the IVY Bridge-E but I can see both sides of the decision.
Although I wish I had the option of waiting for other processors to be released, the problem is, on busy days I am spending 10-12 hours a day stuck in front of a computer doing work which should take a fraction of that time. My system is not able to handle what I need to do, so, I'm not really in a mood to wait too long
.
As for the MOBO I am all for the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme and why waist the remaining 24 lanes of PCIe bandwidth?
Thank you for the motherboard recommendation!
