I need a little help picking out a motherboard and ram to go with a 4770k.
Any help is appreciated!
I am multiboxing 4 copies of Diablo3 on 1 monitor (may add second). PC is gaming only.
Budget for CPU, MOBO and ram is ~$1000.
Goals:
Upgrade to 4770k with a 4.5+ghz overclock without a ton of testing
16-32GB of RAM that will allow optimal performance (prefer 32gb)
Ability to upgrade to two 780 GPUs in a couple months.
Ability to add a second monitor to system
Motherboard that will support optimal performance of CPU, RAM, two 780 GPUs
I am currently running this setup:
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366 (@ 4.4ghz, H50 cooler)
EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
EVGA 015-P3-1482-AR GeForce GTX 480 (re-use until I get 780s)
I will be re-using my current PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W
Corsair Obsidian 800D, Intel SSDs and peripherals (I don't use a soundcard).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting a Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme or similar cooler, but it will not affect the budget for CPU, MOBO, RAM.
I noticed the SBM for this month using a ASRock Z87 Extreme4. Is this optimal or am I missing out on some other great options that would be easier/faster/better? I do see a lot written about the asus maximus vi hero...
Thank you!
