The max I am looking to overclock the i5 2500k at the moment is probably pretty close to 3.8-4.0Ghz and then I would overclock my Video card a little to, but later down the road I can revisit more expensive boards for when I really want to get the power out of the system.
Quick question for ya Danny. If overclocking is something I want to do now what Mobo would I want over the Intel BOXDP67DEB3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. It has had bad reviews on its overclocking potential. Not what I want now.
Ok thanks great to know its just so confusing when I look at the specs of each card and some are obviously better than others but I read all the reviews like on the EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti which won the customer choice award on newegg and all I see are great reviews and everyone says that it can...
Oh and I have looked into the GTX 560 TI 448 Core A LOT! (and its cousins) and know it is a very good card just not 100% sold that there is not a card out their that can compete with it if overclocked for around 200$.
I have been picking up all the part recommended by everyone and my last hold up is the video card. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core looks like a great card but it is also 260$ by itself and I was wondering if there was any alternative to that card that might be a close second if overclocked for...
Alright great to know I was not sure if there was anything super special about the 2400 or the 2500K that would make me want to pick one over the other but since I most likely wont be clocking it past 3.6Ghz i'll just save my money. Great info and advice as always, i'm just sad I wasn't a part...
I was wondering since I have had 2 friends buy the i5 2500K recently if it is worth it to go from the i5 2400 to the 2500K if I can add in the extra cash. I have heard people talk about how the i5-2400 is a "Beast" with a lot of video cards and they happen to work really well together. Im not...
Alright. Thanks for the info once again. I went ahead and picked up the Crucial M4 like you said but i'm glad I didn't get it last night since I got it for 130$ shipped from buy.com today :)
Hey thank you for all the information and I put all the items in a my shopping cart but before I got anything I was looking at some SSD's with 120GB capacity and I was not sure which one would be recommended if I wanted to stay in the 120$ range.

I actually meant the i3-2100 with a HD 6850-1GB I read a review on that combo vs another it did really well with a lot of the higher end games. Do you need all that "Stickied" info so you can take it in to a count with the CPU-GPU?
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for reading and any replies.
I am looking at building a computer soon and I have been looking at the i3-2100 and a Radeon HD 6850 together for my gaming since they fit in my budget and have good reviews of their performance together. My question is...
