I'm guessing the board and ram should have no problem hitting between 300 and 320 HTT if I'm using a 165. I'm on a bit of a tight budget so I'd rather save and get a 165. If I'm hoping to try and hit 2.8ghz and 2.7 minimum then which one lately would give me the better odds? I'll probably get either one from Newegg so I won't be able to choose what I get.
it mainly comes down to what stepping you get and there aren't any higher odds with that when getting a 170. so just go for the 165, best bang for the buck i'd say.
