Hi.

What components do you want install in the mobo?

1- CPU
2- RAM
3- HDD
4- GPU

 

[Lutfij]

CPU - E8400

GPU - 5770 or higher mite even settle with the 4890

i have 2GB DDR2 800+ Transcend but i could get 4GB DDR2 transcend 1066+ or any good overclocking rams of your advising

HDD already exist from prev rig 500GB WD but i'l change for higher PSU for GPU

 

[saint19]

Ok.

The maximus II is a micro-ATX, that IMO isn't good for a good rig. So, I would get the rampage.

P.D. The LGA 775 is a old socket, if you want a good rig, try to go with a i3 or better or AMD AM3

 

[Lutfij]

in that case do u think i should go for the crosshair III formula?

 

[saint19]

Yea, the Crosshair III is a very good mobo, but remember that is for AMD processors. Other options are the MSI 790FX-GD70 or ASUS M4A79 Deluxe.

 

[Lutfij]

hmmmm....is there anything higher than the 965 BE?

 

[saint19]

None, the 965 is the top of the AMD, can't defeat the i7 and sometimes lose with the i5, but can defeat all series of C2Q except the C2Q Extreame.

E4300 :S might as well sell it huh, or should i jus network it (pc-pc)?
