Retired

Hi, guy I need your help. I thinking about getting getting this build let me know what you guys think of it. Will it be good enough for gaming for 2 year +? Without needing to upgrade.

Parts need to buy, but still deciding:
I7 950
Asus R3E
CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1866

Parts have:
2x Ati hd 5870
2x OCZ Vertex 2 120 Will run raid 0
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold 1000w
CORSAIR 800D case
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ult 64bit

If I do get the I7 950, Asus R3E mb with Corsair ddr 1866, with the Noctua NH-D14 cooler how much you think I can overclock it to for it to run stable for gaming. And help or input would be great and help.

Thanks
JC

Agreed, there's no point in buying a 1366 unless you will utilize the 6 core CPU's available, a 2600K clock for clock performance will be the regular Core i7 processors, use less power, run cooler, perform better.
