Okay, so right now I have an old i7 920 running at 3.3ghz on a socket 1366 Gigabyte EX58 board with 6 GB of triple channel memory. I got a smoking deal on this setup ($150 for board, chip, and ram) about four years ago and now another deal has fallen in my lap. A friend of mine came across a computer in an auction and he's offered it to me for $100. He doesn't know exactly which AMD FX chip it is, but it has 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance memory and an ASUS M5A99FX Pro 2.0 board. Either way, $100 is a steal considering it also comes with two 1 TB drives and a 500GB SSD. My question is: How will this stack up against my old i7? I'm picking it up on Friday and I'll benchmark it against my i7, but benchmarks won't tell me everything. Should I replace my old i7 for the new FX?
