Hey guys, I m thinking of replacing my 2 year old gaming system to i5/i7 socket 1156
I m currently using:
Q6600 GO @3.2GHz (8x400) on TRUE-120 (push and pull)
GSkill 2x2GB DDR2-1000 + GSkill 2x1GB DDR2-1066
eVGA 780i
eVGA GTX275 SC Edition (either keep or change to 58XX)
Ultra X3 850W (should i change this too?)
----will not be changing these:-----
300GB VelociRaptor
1TB Seagate 7200.11
1TB WD Caviar Black
CM HAF932
Parts I m thinking of getting:
i7 860
Asus P7P55D-E PRO or Gigabyte P55-UD4 (not sure of other good gigabyte series, opinions?)
GSkill 2x2GB DDR3-1600 Rip Jaws
Corsair HX850
Question is... i m a multitasker (thus q6600 instead of e8500 when i bought my system), is i5 750 enough? does the hyperthreading really noticeable? How hard is it to OC i5/i7 compared to c2q?
how much would my old system worth in just those parts that i listed?
The mobo i m looking for must have SATA6 and USB3.0 for "future" proof, so i looked at asus and gigabyte. I read online that one of these two has different implementation for SATA6 and USB3.0 usage (loosing pcie x16 when used?), so which one is better? For asus's p7p55d-e series, i m pretty confident on the pro version, but i m not sure about gigabyte ud3/ud3p/ud4/udXXX, which one is good for my setup? I dont need IDE port btw.:bleh:
Thanks guys!!!:funky::thumb:
