Hi i am currently looking into building my first gaming/OCing PC. I have been researching suitable components and am getting a little stuck on the Mobo i should choose.
I will be using the build for mainly gaming but also watching movies and surfing the net.
The Parts i'm thinkinf of are:
CPU:
i5 2500k
MOBO:
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
ASRock Z68 Extreme4
MSI Z68A-GD65 versions
Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z
MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen3
PSU:
Corsair HX or TX
Antec Neo eco
RAM:
GSKILL Ripjaws X 8GB
G.Card:
6870 or Geforce 560
So my main question is which mobo i should use with that setup or any you would recommened for that setup?
What Wattage PSU i would need?
Do i go for the 6870 or the 560 G.Card?
Can i get away with using a SSD 64GB and purchasing a larger one or a HDD in the future? (obviously if i use the 64GB, i will not be putting much on the PC except maybe one game)
If there are any changes you would make to this build seeing as i am also looking into OCing it, they are more than welcome
Looking forward to hearing some useful info
