I have this setup in an Alienware Area 51 case, Asus P6T Deluxe V2 i7 920 with 24 gig ram. It's been nice to play around with, and I probably would get a little more performance out of it with the X5680, I have been watching some of the X5680's on eBay. The X58 machine still doesn't perform like my i5 4690 PC with 16 gig ddr3, and I paid $100.00 US for my i5machine. I guess the question is, do I keep spending money on the X58 PC and hope for a little better performance, or just build a new Ryzen or Intel, and get a board that upgradable for some future component's. I'm really in no hurry, but the big question is, where should I put my next available dollars? I'm sure I could get locally on OfferUp a few hundred dollars for my X58 machine, the case is in almost new condition, this would help me expedite my next build. ![Big Grin :D :D](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/biggrin-v1.gif)
