Can someone help me out? I currently have AMD Phenom II x4 965BE @ 3.8GHZ with 4gb ram. I'm looking to upgrade and I've definetly chosen I7-3770 as I found it for 250$ and I'm having trouble deciding/finding motherboard. I'll be overclocking it to 4.3-4.5GHz so I'm thinking Gigabyte or Asus MB.
I'll be putting in:
GSkill Ripajaws X about 8GB.
Into Corsair 500R Case
Corsair H100i Cooling
120-128GB SSD
I have one Sata HDD 1TB
2 IDE HDD's 640GB, 550GB
1 IDE CD DRIVE
1 SATA DVD DRIVE
1 PCI CARD that I'll need in
I'm not going to put in video card as in past 5 years I only played age of empires so spending 250$ again on video card not happening.
I'm mainly doing Video Streaming, Video Encoding, Web Browsing (having like 5 windows with 50-60 tabs open)
I'd need the MB to have 2 PCI slots
VGA Video Slot(or something like that I have converters)
4+ SATA 6 ports
1 preferably 2 IDE connectors
2+ USB3.0 in back and connector for front USB 3.0
And I guess that I could use PCIe card to IDE
It's my first time building Intel system but from what I understand is that Z77 is best for Ivy Bridge chips.
