So I'm kind of new to the high end computer scene but I'm building a computer and I've read the reviews but I thought I'd take the time to see from a forum. Here is my following build and I've heard problems with the new amd crosshair v forumla with the am3+ comparability, the ram sockets, bios (i don't know what that is but people talk about it all the time...) and different cpus not working.
mobo: ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX
CPU: AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.9GHz/4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+
Memory: Kingston HyperX T1 Black Series 4gb X2
GPU: Radeon 7970 X2
I was about to purchase this set up from what I read and what friends have told me who built computers before. But this will be the first time actually building it myself and from what I've been reading the board is a hit or miss. Also I was reading that people have had their cpus die from the board? I really don't wanna toss out $1000+ on a, what seems to be good, computer. If any of this is true what other boards would be a good substitute?
