assuming 6gigs ram, gtx285...worth it for the few hundred extra to go for the 940? no overclocking, and this machine will be kept for probably 2yrs at the least.

Why would you pay more when the same clock speed could be had by just overclocking?

because i am not a hardware guy, i dont know how to overclock, i dont want to mess with anything, i just want to order a computer, turn it on, and have it work.

i was just curious if the extra money to move up to the slightly higher speeds of the 940 would be worth it in the long run since i do not plan to upgrade again for approximately 2-2.5yrs. im trying to find that balance where i can spend just enough to get near max performance now while saving enough to upgrade again in the near future, rather than blowing it all on a $3500 965 sli beast that really wont provide a noticeable difference in the majority of the gaming i do.(1680x1050)

you say no overclocking but with money you could save you could pick up an aftermarket cooler, spend a couple hours searching these forums and seeing what other peoples settings are for a mild overclock of 400-600mghz and still have more than $200 left over.
but if you have money to burn for pricey inflated intel parts then go for it.

Also, OCing is like heroin. Once you get hooked you never stop. So not wanting to do it is
