Hi Guys,
I'm a newby to Overclockers forums. I'm looking for a new system build..primarily for gaming. Budget of about $1200-$1500.
The question I had was, since the P67 Mobos are being recalled, what is the next best option. Should I look into x58 mobos or wait till the P67's are release with the fix? I don't really want to wait till April/May when those boards will be in full circulation.
I was looking into the Asus Rampage III line of Mobos. Anyone here have any experience w/these or do you guys have any specific recommendations?
This is my premilary components list:
2xAmd 6950s crossfire
1000-1200 watt psu
corsair h70 cpu cooling
I7 950 (any recomendations will be appreciaited)
2tb Hd (for Movies/Bluerays)
64gb or 128gb SSD
24gb Ram...so 3x G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Windows 7 o/s
Nzxt Phantom Case (Black)
Some O/c will be done..but I'm looking to keep this system for a while so I dont plan on o/c to the full limits on a 24/7 basis. Any feedback/Opinion will certainly be appreciated. Thank you for your help.
