So I'm building the following PC for work:
Intel i5-2500k
4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3
60GB OCZ Vertex 3
500GB WD Caviar Black
EVGA 9500GT 1GB
Coolermaster 460W PSU
Coolermaster Centurion 5 Case
2 x 23" Monitors
I will never play a game on this machine but I would like to squeeze as much CPU performance out of this as possible for Photoshop and some light video editing as well as normal day to day work. Originally I had planned on A P8P67 PRO but in the two days that I originally spec'ed my system out, Amazon sold out. The only two boards I see that I can still order are these two.
So with no gaming going on but I'd like to have the ability to do some light overclocking (stock CPU cooler) what do you guys think?
(edit - there is also a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 that is available - I know nothing about that board though).
Thanks!
