Just being playing with the 'rendertest' and realise 20 minutes is a tad too long.
Have concluded that at present the i7-2600K is probabley the way forward. If I need to keep costs down cannibalising my existing is a must, hence a home build.
Out of interest do you use the cooling system that comes with the CPU?
Have done so in the past but the cooling is just about adequate as long as the heat sink fins and the fan are cleared of dust every few years.
If not what is recommended. In the UK so newegg is not an option.
