Well, got $800-900 to invest into a new processor, motherboard, and case...
Just ordered the i7 2600K for $320 (Should arrive Thursday).
I'm planning on ordering the HAF X in a couple of weeks since it has a week shipping delivery estimate and I'll be out of town all of next week.
Now for the motherboard.. I know not all of them have hit the market yet, so I'm trying to get an idea of what to get whenever they do.
I originally was looking at the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme and the un-released EVGA Classified, but maybe those are just too much overkill for what I'm looking for..
I want something that can overclock pretty beastly, but I don't need anything more than x8/x8 crossfire.
So what I have in mind:
- ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution
- GIGABYTE GA-P67-UD7-B3
Thoughts and other ideas?
