About 45 days ago I realized it was time for me to build myself a new PC. I was going to build a Gigabyte x58/i7 950/5870pair.
After seeing all the reaction to sandy bridge, I decieded to build a 2600k instead but those B3 revisions were not out yet so I wanted to wait a bit till everything sorted itself out. Then, when I was about to post this, an earthquake hit Japan and I just knew I'd have to wait a bit longer.
Well, I'm chomping at the bit now. I have a 2600k onhand as well as a nice HAFSC case, Antec 1000w psu.
What I really need though, is a good motherboard/memory combination to take the 2600k to the next level.
this site has been invaluable to me over the past years, it was here that I found the Q6600/Gigabyte P35/45 combination. A combination that I have sold, built for myself and OC'd to 4Ghz with H2o with good batch low vid chips.
But now I'm wanting the best kept secrets of the 1155's. Anyone know the fast-track to a killer combination?
I also have not purchased video yet so any advice mb/mem/video would be great. I'm planning to order these parts Monday so I'll keep checking.
