Hi All
Thanks for your time , if you read this .
I want to upgrade my system , and need some help. I think I got ahead of myself a lot .
What I currently have : Asus maximus IV gene/gen 3 1155 z 68
i5 2500k
GSkill f3 12800 ddr3 1600 4x 4 gb
kingston hyper x 120 gb ssd (3KSSD)
WD blue 500 sata 3 6gb/s
win 7 64 (installed on ssd)
My new toy is : Asus p8z77 ws
How do i upgrade to this new mb?
I guess clean install of win is best , but maybe I can get away with just plug in the new mb. But have no idea how to start about all drivers (old ones and new ones) and this marvell driver that needs to be installed during windows installation, I was thinking of 120 ssd in marvell sata 6.0 gb/s connector E1( for os) and wd500 gb in marvell E2 ( I guess this is a new install definitely) , but i have found that there are problems with this drver ,and after reading forums how to fix it - its like a"black magic" to me.
Maybe just forget the marvell thing , and use the other INTEL Z77 SATA 6.0 connectors (SATA6G_1 , _2)
what about CPU ? can I upgrade later to ivy (simply swap CPU or reinstall something again?)
RAID - do I need to set this up?
I have build my existing one , but it was just plug and install , now its just to many options , that I have no clue about.
any advise its more than welcome Thank you for your time.
