I am in the testing process of my current build line up (760K and a AMD Radeon HD 7850), currently running Windows 7 (yes, shame me :c!). I had ordered an additional 8 gigs of ram, an Intel i5 750 and the ASUS P7P55 LX motherboard. I had also picked up a new case and a new heatsink (Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO). I just wanted to know if either the i5 is a good fit, or the AMD is doing a fine job as is. And also, id appreciate some assistance on how to set up a alternative OS for hosting the servers that I do (Which is currently a Teamspeak server and a few other game servers).

Not sure. since I'm not too experienced with that generation of intel processors.

Though this thread right here
http://www.overclock.net/t/1159218/help-overclocking-i5-760-on-asus-p7p55-lx/10
Seems to suggest that it will overclock just fine on your chosen MB

And you can probably also run ubuntu as long as your server programs can support it.

Again, not too experienced with it. (Though there are probably tons of guides out there which is a google away)

Would my XFX PSU that ive had for about 3 years be able to OC the i5 750 with no issues? (its the 550w CORE edition PSU).
It should from what ive asked around, but id rather be safe and ask on Tom's Hardware to double assure myself.

Yay :D! At least I have some assurance that my builds gonna be decent. My thing is with Ubuntu is that i dont know coding/programming that well, thats why I went with the Windows route and got 7 on there. If I can have a comparison of resources/performance of the two OS', I would be able to make up my mind easier.

Well from what I've seen ubuntu tends to be easier on resources since there are much less background tasks going on, And it doesn't really take much programming knowledge to run ubuntu as long as you remember the commands to run the programs you need to run. And the best part is that it's ABSOLUTELY FREE

Ubuntu is pure **** when it comes to graphical drivers though, So there's that :I.
