Howdy, just suffered the alleged death of my favorite MSI p45 mobo, and am now looking at a new mobo, some RAM, and a CPU. On top of that, I plan to OC the cpu once it's sufficiently broke in (like a few days after I get it!) So a decent cooler rec too.
I am not going extreme, I dont need 5ghz OC and I dont need 16x16 CF (8x8 is fine) and I will only use 2 vid cards MAX. Don't care about USB3.0 or sata 6 really as I have a network share RAID of 4tbs already and who cares about onboard storage.
So far, I got these in my cart, but I am open to suggestions:
RAM (keep under $110)-G.Skill Sniper 8gb kit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416
MOBO (keep under $200) Biostar TP67XE
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138289
CPU- 2500k i7 (yay first chip over $200 that was ever worth it)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
CPU cooler-
please give me a product that will work on the biostar or whichever mobo you all would suggest.
I am recycling -
a sunbeam transformer case (its big and stupid like me)
a 750 watt PSU
hard drives/blurays (total of 3)-thats how many sata I will ever use)
2 4870 gpus
Thanks, and extra thanks if you get me some great ideas before Monday morning, when I need to order or suffer a day of no home computer.
