Choosing memory and a motherboard for my i-930

Last response: in Systems
Share

So I currently have:

CM Sniper
2x XFX ATI 5770
i-930
Spinpoint F3 1tb

-----------
I am trying to find the best motherboard under $300 for this that has Sata 6 and USB 3.0 that wont cause trouble with the crossfire or sata6/usb 3.0.

As for Ram I am deciding between:

The Mushkin is better RAM because it's less expensive. They are all the same Triple Channel 6 GB DDR3-1600 w/ CAS7. All 3 are good manufacturers. Go with the least expensive.

As for the motherboard? Lemmie find one.

I can tell you right now that 5770x2 isn't going to use all the 16x/16x bandwidth so it shouldn't interfere. Also your HDD doesn't even use SATA III yet. So it technically shouldn't be an issue for you.

But on the otherhand it could later on.
