Hi All,
Moving to Sandy Bridge (the mrs wants a pc, so I'll get the SB and pass her my..junk). Getting an i5-2500k with this and G.Skill RipJawsX 4gb(Dual) ddr3-1333 (F3-10666CL8D-4GBXM) if it matters
I've narrowed my choice down to 2 boards
ASUS P8P67 LE
+ I like the Full Atx form factor
- 16x/4x xfire
vs
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3
++ 8x/8x xfire/sli
- mATX
So yeah, the main difference for me is just the form-factor. I wanted to know what you guys think I should go for.
This is going to mostly be for gaming and I wanted it to be 'decent' for as long as possible.
Another option am looking at is a 955 + Asrock 890gx Pro3 (looks to have an am3b socket) and save myself some money, but am concerned that I might be throwing a wrench at a future xfire setup (most likely 6850s).
So, whacha sez?
