    bang goes any thought of "my systems ok and doesn't need upgrading for a while".
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Fairly cheap. For such a premium CPU. The price for the top-end is usually very high.

    I would definately not pay that for a CPU. But normally the high end CPUs cannot in reality justify the price. In this case, they may do for some...
    Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. i5-6500. 16gig Ripjaw 2400. Samsung 950pro NMVe 250gig+ 1tb Intel 660p. GTX Titan. Corsair TX650M.

    lol the quad core extreme is only a tenner more than the top duel core, so it's not THAT much.
