I'm planning to build a new computer within two weeks.
The current set-up:
CPU: i5 2500k (later will OC)
GPU: radeon hd 6950 (later will upgrade crossfire)
PSU: corsair tx v2 850w
Case: Cooler Master Storm Sniper Black Edition
RAM: corsair vengeance 1600mhz 2x4gig
I'm stuck on the choice of motherboard's. I'm not sure whether to get the Z series of LGA 1155 motherboards (is there any benefit on Z series as I will be running Radeon 6950 GPU). Should I just get P series motherboard? Could you state which one's are viable picks
i was planning to get ASUS P8P67 Pro
Also which CPU cooler should I get with the i5 2500k to OC around 4.4ghz.
BTW which software do you use to see the GPU and CPU temperatures.
thank you
