Here's what i bought:
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
EVGA 02G-P4-2685-KR GeForce GTX 680
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB)
Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD1 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC 7mm Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series RSA00-80GAD3-US 1000W
COOLER MASTER HAF X Blue Edition RC-942-KKN3
I have a couple questions, first of all I know the motherboard will support ivy bridge with a bios update, but will I be able to put the ivy bridge in and at least have the motherboard post so that I can actually update it? If not, what would a solution be? I have another desktop chip at home but it is an old core 2 duo, could that work?
Also, does anyone have a link to a good guide on how to put it all together? I have taken out individual parts, etc. before but never built one from scratch.
A link to how to update a mobo bios would be nice as well.
Thanks.
