1 x Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
1 x (free accessory) Shogun2 Total War Voucher
1 x G-Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 2133Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-11-9-28-2N) 1.6V
I know its not top of the line gear or any thing but it will suit it purpose of replacing my seriously reliable q6600 that ive had running at 3.8 Ghz for over 2 years now.
Ill be getting rid of 2 pcs once this lot has landed on my door step.
Im going to order a new water block for it next week as well then slip in my white coolant and see some yummy over clocks hopefully. All so the case im going out do with lots of gold vinyl goodness on my plotter. Think it will all go nice and smoothly togther hopefully.
