Which Motherboard and Memory for my build

[Shjnta]

Hello everyone,

This are the components that other users recommended me for a gaming PC.

x2 PowerColor AX6950 2GBD5-2DH
Intel Core i5-2500K
Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2

But still I dont know which Motherboard and Memory. I would like a build that can handle any game a throw at it with amazing and smooth graphics. I was told 8gb ram will be enough but I dont know what brand or model should i pic.

If there is also any suggestions on my build... Please let me know


Thank you all !

Depends entirely on your budget. I suggest you pick out a brand, such as gigabyte or asus and read some newegg reviews. The z68 works fine for most folks; I like having onboard video as backup in case the video card fries. But the p67 chipset is favored by most overclockers. I highly recommend gskill or kingston ram, but I also use some old corsair 1.8v ddr3. I recommend 1.5v 1333 or 1600, whatever of those three brands is cheaper. Focus on the positives in the newegg reviews, unless the board has several doas listed. I've been lucky. In twenty years of building and 25 frys combo specials, I've never had a new board doa.
