Forget the FX chips. Upgrade your i7 to a Xeon X5680. 

6 core, 12 thread, 12mb Cache, 3.33Ghz, unlocked. 4.5+OC

I would recommend one of these, http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3449#ov or even these are nice boards https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-P6X58D-Premium-1366-Motherboard/dp/B002WSHXQ2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484008778&sr=1-1&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057458011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057465011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6159420011

thanks for the suggestions :) 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Just saw in your sig you have a X5680 lol So do you have a good OC on that? what's the temps like? I know that is hevily dependent on a lot of factors like ambient temp and cases/cpu cooler 

Hey man, I had to search my history to find this post again. I OC'd my CPU finally. Speed Step off, Vcore 1.3v, BCLK 167, 24x, everything else on and Auto, 4Ghz at 51c. This was my initial first step in the OC process. I'll use it for a while to test stability in everyday use.
