I wasn't planning on upgrading soon, but I came across some bargains in a sale and got myself some parts to kickstart a new dual core build
You can see my main rig on the left.
Well, I got myself a C2D e4600 along with some OCZ Reaper HPC 4gb (2x2GB).
I'm planning to put this into a case I bought a while ago, a Silverstone TJ08.
I'm also looking to transfer most of my parts from the rig (on left).
I'm currently looking at finding a very stable and clockable mobo for this setup. I've mainly been looking for Micro-atx mobos so I can use it in the TJ08, but if they are not worth it then I'd probably go for an ATX mobo.
Here are some of the mobos I've been looking at and would appreciate comments or suggestions, especially with the hsf I'm looking at (Xigmatek HDT-S1283):
DFI LANPARTY JR P45-T2RS - expensive and concerns with the PCIE 2.0 running at 8x.
Asus P5Q-VM
Asus P5Q-EM
Asus P5E-VM SE
Asus P5E-V HDMI
Asus P5E-VM HDMI
Or will I be better off with an ATX (for stability/OC'ability/price)
Many thanks!
