I have been looking to buy a Classified for a long time, though its not available in my country and importing from US is a costly proposition but the benefits of Classified are undeniable for Extreme Overclocking.

Classified 760 would cost me, Price(~400$ + Shipping(50-60$) + Customs (30% of the Price). I can already push my i7 950 to ~51xx Mhz for 2d runs and around ~5Ghz for 3d run on DICE. I havent yet reached the BCLK limit of the mobo but I guess I am either limited by cooling or maybe overall the Board, its a MSI Pro-E board.

I still have to buy a LN2 Dewar, GPU Pots and maybe down the line the best graphic card available.

So what would you guyz do if you were in my place??? Invest in Classified and then buy a Dewar or buy the Dewar and Pots and then think about the mobo???

Thanks for your suggestion....

I have to agree with Shannon here, the best investment would b in the cooling department as it never becomes obsolete as does the hardware you abuse, and dewars and pots seldom give an instant "FF".

Although after a 6 hour bench session with no points you may feel you have been given an FU

If its that hard to get a Classy there, what happens if it needs to be RMA'd ?

Looks postponing is the right think to do, guess boints will have to wait longer......
