Hey just looking on some helpful advice for a planned build/upgrade I'm planning in the next few months for my PC.
Below is my current rig:
XPS 730x Desktop Casing
Windows 7(64-bit) home premium
1TB HDD (everything is on the thing, and she's getting slow...)
Intel Core I7 920 @2.67Ghz
Nvidia GTX 580 Lightning XE from MSI
Dell P270J motherboard(XPS 730x) using the Intel X58chipset
12GB RAM in a 4x3 combination(I think?)
Planned Upgrades:
XPS 730x Desktop Casing (new stuff in old case)
Windows 7(64-bit) home premium (same as above)
250GB SSD bootdrive + 2-4TB HDD for everything else.
Intel Core I7 5930k
MSI 900 series Nvidia Card (possible 2 later)
Intel Motherboard? (need help with this one)
16GB RAM with room to upgrade to 32GB RAM in the future.
The big thing is the new motherboard, I have no idea what to look at for my RAM needs or chipsets. Advice on a motherboard is welcome, as well as anything else that you see causing a problem or something that might be better. Also advice on where to buy components would be helpful, I was eyeing up Newegg, thoughts? Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.
