June 2, 201313 yr Haswell's release leaves me thinking SB-E is still a great choice for my upcoming build--I'm interested in 6 cores despite its limited added value for FSX (better texture loading?). What is the practical difference, besides added cache, in the X versus K variants? Do X processors overclock better because of favored sorting/binning perhaps? It's as you know double the cost of the K version. While you're here: is H100 still a good choice for cooling for this CPU? Mainboard: ASUS X79 Sabertooth ok? RAM: any value for 2400Mhz ram in an SB-E system?

June 2, 201313 yr I don't think the 6 cores will give much advantage even in texture loading. Maybe consider Ivy Bridge The RAM will, defo. That is good speed. Sabartooth is a good MB as well. Also, don't get Haswell, as OC wise it is no better than Ivy.
