P8h77-v versus p8h77-v le

[altermsg]

I need help to build a pc with Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz. Which motherboard should I buy: ASUS P8H77-V os P8H77-V LE?

 

[nikorr]

This one - ASUS P8H77-V

 

[altermsg]

Thanks for the quick reply! Initially I was considering P8H77-V LE, then I saw there is a P8H77-V but I don't know the difference. I don't play games.

 

[nikorr]

Get this one than. It will work fine and it is a decent mobo for non gaming use.

[nikorr]

And instead of that CPU, get this one.

So, save a bit on mobo and get better CPU.

Thats what I would do.

This is much better CPU.

 

[nikorr]

BTW, whats your case?

This one - ASUS P8H77-V

I checked into the link you gave me http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157313 and read all the users' comments.
I guess I'll have this one you suggested ASUS P8H77.
By the way, could you help me find the item # for a 8GB (4X2) RAM? Kingston or Corsair? Nikkor, thank you very much for your objective answers!

 

[nikorr]

Or u can get this one, this will fit under the cooler and its bit faster RAM.

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CML8GX3M2A1866C9R

Fast Corsair Vengeance 1.5V memory for Z77

[nikorr]

Whats great deal in one country may not be the same in another.

I live in Brazil but am buying from online USA sites because I have a friend who lives in New Mexico and is coming to visit me next month.

 

[nikorr]

OK : )

Any of these will do. All are quality RAM. I prefer Corsair.

Hi! I'm going nuts with my building a new pc! Ok, here is what I have:
* Processor => Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost)
* Power Supply => Corsair HX650W
* Motherboard => P8H77-V OR P8H77-M/CSM
* Memory: Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 OR CML8GX3M2A1866C9R
Will you help me decide on the last two items? Compatibility is a must, of course.
I want to place an order today. Again, thank you very much for your help!!

 

[nikorr]

Get the black one.

[altermsg]

OK, that's it! Good price. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[altermsg]

Next time I'll get this 2500K ... For the time being, I'll be happy upgrading to the 2400K and getting the other parts. Thanks!

 

[nikorr]

Post all your parts too with prices.

 

[nikorr]

Whats your GPU?

 

[altermsg]

Post what are u paying for your parts!

OK, Nikkor, here's what I'm planning to get:

* Processor => Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost)
* Motherboard => P8H77-M/CSM
* Memory: Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9
* Power Supply => Corsair HX650W

Do you think it is a good build? Are they compatible?

AFTER YOUR REPLY, I am going to place my order with NewEgg, the best prices I found in just one place. Thanks for your help and concern about my getting good prices. You're nice!!

 

[nikorr]

OK, first.

Whats your GPU?

 

[nikorr]

Its OK, but why not get the king 2500K over average Joe, the 2400?

$10 difference ???

 

[nikorr]

Why do u want to pay $104.99 for PSU?

Why do u want to pay $104.99 for PSU?
---------------------

The i5-2400 costs $189.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115074

And the i5-2500 is 209.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115073

Where did you see $104.99?

Besides, what about the other parts I mentioned? Will they be the same with this 2500?
