iirc unless youre doing hardcore Gameing Rig an upper-end i5 is just as good as the super expensive i7

if you've seen the new stuff second life has, the fact it can literally do everything that every other game can do now (not counting gameplay) you'd know this literally has to be the Ultimate Gaming RIg

stevey under no circumstances listen to plug drugs, he has no fucking idea what he's talking about.

nobody else does either, there's fucking ten million new pieces of hardware released every month and apparently stuff from 2011 is better than stuff from 2013 and some people think one graphics card is better than three and I just want this nightmare to end I"m gonna be paying for this thing for like the next 50 years I just want it to be the best it can be so I can be the best I can be and give people the best .dae files they'll ever see and make madd money doing so

Welfare fraud?

yeah

The hardware you picked out is fine. You could easily get away with hardware from 2011, and depending on what CPU features second life takes advantage of you might not notice much difference, but the idea that hardware from 2011 is 'faster' is absurd plug drugs doesn't know shit about anything but he likes to talk like he does on every single subject ever.

is a 2013 i7 that much faster that it's worth twice as much? probably not, but it's sure as fuck faster.

it's going to come down to the video card, the one you picked is awesome and if the board supports SLI you can always buy another one later. So shut up and place your order.
