I Need Your Input

post #1 of 30
6/26/12 at 6:09pm
Thread Starter 
I need any feedback on this issue. I have been wracking my brain for the past 2 weeks. I have 2 systems, but I only have room for 1. They're both really good systems and I wish I didn't have to get rid of any of them. I guess my question is, which one should I get rid of?

Tell me which one and why?

1.
Evga 790i ftw motherboard
Intel Q9650
Corsair Dominator DDR3 1333 8gb

Or

2.
Asus Rampage III Formula motherboard
Intel i7 920
Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2000mhz 6gb

Again, any input I would really appreciate it.

#1.

I mean, isn't #2 noticeably faster?

#2 is faster. But #1 has been good to me more than #2. Call me sentimental, I guess.

Any one else?

Ditch the first system. The socket 775 system will show its age. I know mine does and I have the same processor.

Yeah, all my rigs have names and birthdays too. #1 is named Aether, and he was born on Sept. 27, 2006. #2 is named Hestia, and she was born Dec. 17, 2009. LoL.
