I know they are different Sockets, I just don't know which is better. I was going to plan my motherboard around the CPU. I know according to a Benchmarch that the 960 is better.
I was thinking of getting my PSU after I decided each individual part, so I can use the newegg Power Calculator to tell me what wattage I need.
I understand how Ram and the CPU work, and that DDR3 is the fastest.
I just don't understand how the Speeds for Ram work and how it ties into the CPU.
I miss the old days where computer building was easier.
