wanted to say that i agree

Which z77 mobo do you think would be good? Kinda looking for a cheap one with a reliable brand. I saw gigabyte has one but its $190 and I dont think I need that. Im not looking to overclock. Just for gaming

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157293 this is the cheapest (best) price for performance that i have seen so far
Its made by asrock it has everything you might need (just take a look over it to make sure it has everything) has a good power phase delivery and heat sinks on its phases so you can (if you ever decide in the future) to Overclock.

Love the looks of that board layout.....it will be mine with an i5 2500k...most likely next month.

That looks great. Thank you for the suggestion. I will update my thread with all of my parts once ivy bridge comes out right before the big buy

Alright. Finally compiled a cart we can look at:

Missing the CPU and GPU. I plan on getting IvyBridge 3570K i5 and the EVGA 680 when they come in stock. Does everything seem to look good? I plan on buying very soon.

Horrerblade · 04-17-12, 05:07 PM

nice but just make sure that you get another 120 for the hyper 212 and wait for the HDD you can snag a deal for a 1 tb for $90

Ah yes thanks for the reminder for the heatsink fan. Not sure Id ever use 1tb but Ill be on the lookout for a deal.

Edit: How would I add a fan onto that heatsink? What could I use to support it

DareMe55 · 04-24-12, 10:11 PM

Im looking to get a gtx 680, but is there any downside to getting a superclocked one?

This one for example. I don't know how to overclock, but as far as wear on the card or durability issues to worry about. Because I could spend an extra $30 if there isnt any problems to worry about. Or should I just stick with a stock one?

Horrerblade · 04-24-12, 10:44 PM

LOL sorry for not posting a build completley frogot but i will post one as soon as Ivy bridge comes out (the 29th) so just sit tight untill then and i will get you a build. Sorry again and if i where you i would wait for the non-reference cards to come out due to there better cooling

DareMe55 · 04-24-12, 11:25 PM

I have my build already planned out. I posted it above and you already responded to it :P.

Also what do you mean by "non-reference" cards?

A review on this board says that the hyper212 cooler blocks one of the ram slots with the gskill ripjaw series. Well I was planning on getting those exact parts. Any suggestions of what I should do?

Quote:

cooler master 212+ blocks the first ram slot with g.skill ripjaws. just figured id mention that here so you get an idea on spacing. boots / runs fine with slots 2, 4 used.

I was planning on getting 4x4gb
