Ive been researching i7 motherboards & memory for a few days, I'm about to pull the trigger on the following and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or if any red flags pop up lol.
I'm not expecting to OC the crap out of this CPU, I'm sure the stock speed will be plenty considering my current PC (specs in signature) but being able to OC in the future would be nice.
Basically I'm going to keep all my current hardware and simply replace the motherboard/cpu/memory, I'm hoping my current 650W BFG PSU will be good enough.
Parts I'm looking at:
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz - Link
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard -Link
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit - Link
I normally run Asus motherboards but this particular gigabyte model is a lot cheaper than an Asus P6T and has everything I'd want from what I can tell.
Thanks.
