Adjust your memory divider so you don't have to run the RAM higher, and push your overclock further to 3.5ghz.

Then when you have FPS issues post back here and it'll probably be that you need a new graphics card. So we'll recommend you buy a new top of the line graphics card, and you'll be good for another year or so. I feel this will be the case with most quad cores clocked higher than 3.5ghz.

i've got the same CPU as you OP, i'm waiting for Ivy and Herpdozer before i buy

I thought you said that you had a laptop, and were considering putting together your own desktop in another thread.

Opinions thread go! I've never custom built a PC, nor have i ever owned a desktop. Right now i'm trying to get a feel for which brands are accepted as quality, opinions are wanted, anal frustration resulting from fanboyism would be appreciated as well.

MSI? EVGA? what brands are most reliable for you? Which ones are best on keeping the promises on their warranties?

Since you've never owned a desktop, how could you currently have that CPU, since it's a desktop CPU?

Your credibility is questionable.
