Im wanting a new machine. BF3 is coming.
I know everyone has asked similar questions but I have a few searching didnt answer.
Im wanting to go AMD BD but all the delays have made it irritating.
So say I go SB I was wondering if anyone has any info on this AsRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 board. I cant find it for sale anywhere. I really like the PCI-E x16/x16 I want/plan to run crossfire and although I know x8 is a minimal hit I would prefer not to start with that as long as its not a huge $ difference. Possibly suggest another board in the $150-$250 or so range that can do PCI-E x16/x16 and seems to have good OCing and really needs to be BF3 ready.
I have pretty much decided on a I5 2500 but me not staying updated I saw hints of locked chips but yet I see many OCing them like mad. Then I see on the Egg 2 different priced i5-2500 So do I want the one with a 2500K or without 2500 ? How do you decide if one is locked? Maybe none are locked I don't know?
Thanks
