building semi new pc

gotta remember that sound is fairly cpu intensive in bfbc2, and the sound is going to control explosions and some other weird shit in bf3, so the cpu may be a little more important than the GPU come release.
 
I would just go with the same MB i posted earlyier plus a i7 2600K if your that worried of a i7. If you think in gaming plus benchmarks a 2600K or 2500K blows a 950 out of the water. You cannot different because the FPS is a truly increase plus during benchmarks not one i7 950 is on there. a i7 990X and 980X sure but he isn't looking for a 1000 CPU kill. a 2500K hits that top chart list more than a 2600K because it actually OC's higher on the correct batch #. Just saying, 2500K is fine OC'd but a 2600K would basically do whatever you want OC'd.
