Hello,
 
      I was wondering from the experts here on the benefits of the 3930k vs 3960k do you get that much more boost for the cost difference?
 
I'm not one that oc's
I do have major RAM (64 GB)
 
I was wondering what type of programs or games that see major differences vs one chip or another
 
I'd love to hear your thoughts

Hello Crypt,
 
 
If you do not plan to overclock, you will see very little different going with the 3960k over the 3930k.
 
Here's a great forum, that discusses those differences, and should help you make a decision...I'm the type of guy that will purchase the most powerful components I can, regardless of if it will be used fully. I like to have it "just to have it". Approve
