What you need to know, is that these are a smidgen faster than the Sandy Bridge (5%), but they have some outstanding values in the lower priced options. So in the thread below, I hope to detail out an entire “homebuilt” system with this new chip. Later I hope to post a “discount” machine as well.

My cheapest and fastest suggested computer yet. I’m hesitant to offer a “discount” machine because of the speed/value of this thing. All prices from newegg.com.
