Hello there
I'm not really an expert when it comes to mobos,so I decided I should ask the community for help in choosing a suitable motherboard.
I'm currently using the following:
Motherboard: ASRock N68-GS
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250
Memory: 3 GB DDR2
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C (1000GB)
Power Suppy: 500W
I want to build a good gaming PC and I stopped at the following changes for the moment:
Motherboard: TBD
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k
Memory: 8GB (2x4GB) DD3 Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C (1000GB)
Power Suppy: 500W
I'm not interested in Crossfire/SLI and I'm thinking of overclocking the cpu to 4,2 GHz. The price mustn't exceed 300$.
If you have any recommendations for a motherboard that suits that cpu, please share them and tell me what are their pros and cons.
Thank you for taking your time to read (and maybe answer? ) my question
P.S.: Is that psu going to be enough to handle the new setup?
