Intel's latest processors based on the Nehalem core, now known as Core i7, are slated for their official launch today and you should be seeing them available for shipping on most e-tailers' sites by the time you read this. With that in mind, it's good to get another look at the Core i7 965 Extreme processor (also reviewed by OCC here). As has been discussed before, the new processors also require a new motherboard and also support tri-channel DDR3 memory and our roundup gives us the opportunity to check out a pair of triple-channel memory kits from Kingston and G.Skill. How about a nice new full-tower chassis to house that new Core i7 build? Check out the HAF 932 case from Cooler Master (reviewed by OCC here).
