I was set on keeping my Q6600 for another year but when I saw the 2600K deal for the Intel summer sale I jumped on it. I plan on reusing most of my current system which is listed below to help save some cash.
Cooler Master Centurion 5
8800 GTS(until I figure out which card to get)
Antec Earthwatts 500W
640GB HDD
I have been looking at Z68 motherboards because while not great for gaming I might as well use the IGP alongside my 8800 GTS. I won't be using the SSD caching anytime soon though. If I buy the 1866 RAM + PRO3 motherboard I get $25 off but 1866 seems like overkill, no?
8GB G.Skill DDR3 1333
8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 Ripjaws
8GB G.Skill DDR3 1866
ASRock Z68 PRO3
Gigabyte Z68 D3H-B3
What combination(or something else) would be best? I'm also going to grab a Cooler Master 212+ HSF to go with the 2600K. I might overclock to around 4Ghz.
