So im getting a new mobo, cpu and ssd and my configuration will look like this:
MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V LX
CPU: intel core i5 2500k
RAM: 2x4gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3 ram
GPU: asus directcu II gtx 560 OC 925mhz
SSD: Corsair GT Sandforce 90gb sata3
PSU: Corsair GS600
HDD: WD 320gb 5400rpm sata2
CASE: Bitfenix merc beta
FANS: 2x120mm front intake / 1x120mm rear outtake
Some questions:
1) Will i have to update my bios for my CPU to work and how do i do that without a working CPU?
2) Will my corsair vengeance work on this board even tho its not on the support list ?
3) Is 600W corsair PSU enough ?
4) Can i overclock my CPU to a 4.0ghz with a stock cooler and decent temp/stability ?
5) I want to install my OS to an SSD but i have it on my HDD atm. Ive never used an ssd or two hdds before. How do i do it ? Do i have to use AHCI mode and only hook up my SSD and after OS install i can hotswap my HDD (with ahci) and format it in windows ?
6) Hows the balance/compatibility of this system ? Is something bottlenecking something ?
Thank you!
