Just got my i5 2500 rig, water cooled and clocked 4.6 Ghz - those assembly codes will fly now

[PAH]

I have a recent i5 2500k upgrade too, current best bang-per-buck IMO.

Also have dual SSD and 16gb ram.

Slightly disappointed the Sandy Bridge mobos only offer 4 ram slots (dual channel), so the uber-cheap 4gb sticks limit them to 16gb.

At least they support 32gb if the 8gb sticks come down in price in the near future. Otherwise there's always Sandy Bridge-E with it's quad channel ram out soon, though at a premium.

Been using Virtual Box to utilise all that performance and ram, and pretty impressed so far. Though I do occasionally get blue-screen-of-death but that's probably the Windows 7 64bit host throwing a fit.

Indeed...

Any mobo/processor recommendations?

Got a spec for that build?

Got it from here: "Titan Spinosaur" Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz DDR3 Sandybridge System []
with NVIDIA GTX 280. Pretty chuffed so far - it even cut down waiting period between posts on here to 10 seconds!

And you'll spend the same amount in the few years. Save some cash, get a Mac.

Excellent, looks like a good choice with some additions

Looks like I might be able to run a couple of word documents on that.
