• Unfortunately, we have experienced significant hard drive damage that requires urgent maintenance and rebuilding. The forum will be a state of read only until we install our new drives and rebuild all the configurations needed. Please follow our Facebook page for updates, we will be back up shortly! (The forum could go offline at any given time due to the nature of the failed drives whilst awaiting the upgrades.) When you see an Incapsula error, you know we are in the process of migration.

Any thoughs to this build?

Well the second on is definetly better becuase its i7 setup, though i even didnt read other specs but ... go with i7, its not just a new processor famili, it's a whole new breed of intel processors. I'll have my i7 965 extreme shippd somewhere in next month.
