Hey everyone, I've once again managed a slight budget increase, and have come here looking for advice related to my motherboard.
My current build includes:
- Intel Core i5 2500k
- For the time being, I will be using either the i5 2500k's integrated graphics, or a friend's old HD 4350.
- Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
- G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB DDR3 1600
- Corsair HX850 850W
- Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
- Asus 24X CD/DVD Burner
- Cooler Master HAF 932
In the not-so-distant future I plan to add:
- an HD 6970
- a 2nd HD 6970 for CF
- a SSD
- a CPU fan
- a Sound Card
- and possibly a 2nd HDD
So the current mobo I have selected is, as mention above, the Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128502
That will cost me about $160, but I now have up to around $200 to spend on the mobo.
Oh yeah, and I'm going to be using this computer for gaming and video and sound editing.
These are what I've found, with the rounded prices included:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 - $190
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128498
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD4-B3 - $210 ($190 after MIR)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128478
ASRock P67 EXTREME4 (B3) - $190 ($190 after MIR)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157229
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) - $205 ($185 after MIR)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130574
These prices are the cheapest prices I could find, none of which come from Newegg (as I am located in Canada).
So any recommendation or advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
