Hi Guys...
I'm in the process of putting together an i7 rig...
Some stuff is being recycled from my rig in my sig...
Heres what i Have ::
As for storgae I will be getting a WD Caviar Black 1TB... with the possibility of an SSD for my OS (which I already have) in a few moths after my water cooling has been completed.
Now I basically just need a motherboard.
Pricing in the UK is just plain Awful..
My Initail choice is the Foxconn Bloodrage... I can get it for £225 new... It has the Red and Black scheme that I am aiming for... and has a waterblock included...
The other options seem to be Rampage II Gene (can get for £150 but is mATX) or the Rampage II Extreme which will cost me £260) + I would have to buy a chipset block for it (£100)...
Should I stick with the BloodRage because it works out Cheeaper and Looks nicer or is the Rampage II extreme worth the Extra?
The Gene is nice but in a HAF 932 may look out of place..
I have no plans for a multi-GPU setup and am aiming for just a 4.0GHz overclock on my CPU.
******************************************************************************************************************
My Original plan was to get an EVGA x58 SLI LE but for some reason the board has mysteriously vanished from the UK Market and is no longer stocked at a reasonable price... The only place i could find it costs more than the BloodRage.
