New gear.

[Guest]

I am currently overhauling my build. I plan on buying the following parts but I would love input or preferences on brands and models. Maybe completely different parts.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837 - MB

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501 - Prossesor

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202006 - Video Card

Anything wrong with compatibility maybe know faulty models or anything? I do not want to make same mistake as my last build.

Thanks in advance.

need to know all the parts

and i7s are not for games

 

[Guest]

The other parts are basic.
750W PSU
Windows 7 OS
16G of RAM
550gig HDD

If specific models are needed i can get them.

Whats wrong with i7s?

 

[TheBigTroll]

ok then. just change out the i7 for a i5 3570k if you are not doing at least 3hrs of work a day involving video editing and rendering

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 didnt notice the one i linked did not have a "K" would this be better?

 

[TheBigTroll]

k would mean overclocking. without the k would mean no overclocking.

if you are not to be overclocking this rig, id suggest getting a different motherboard

 

[Guest]

It wont hurt performence if I do not over clock with this board dose it? I want to have the option but if i never do, I do not want it to back fire

 

[TheBigTroll]

its just saving money thats about it. if you are going to buy a k chip without overclocking, it would mean 40 dollars wasted on the CPU and another 20-40 on the motherboard

 

[Guest]

Ill just stick with this so i have the option thanks for the help! No last opinions on the video card?

 

[Guest]

Quck question (i know socket change) but is this: http://ark.intel.com/products/43556/Intel-Core-i5-670-Processor-4M-Cache-3_46-GHz
Prossesor better than the one im getting?

 

[TheBigTroll]

just change the CPU to a i5 of some sort. no i7s

and no, the i5 670 wont perform as well. its 3 generations old from what i know

 

[Guest]
