Hi,
I had recently bought a HD 3650 gfx card ( *www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102725 ) and g-skill 4gb ram ( *www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122 )
Now i need to buy the following items :
Proccy( intel E7200)
Mobo
HDD (will buy WD 650gb)
PSU ( coolermaster 460w)
Im pretty confused regarding the mobo, Abit IP35-E seems to be a good choice but some ppl say it is already outdated and it has got only pci-e 1.0 slot. Will it be a constraint in the future when i upgrade my gfx card?( say 1andhalf yrs from now, but i wont go for crossfire). Even my current card hd 3650 is pci-e 2.0.
While AMD has a rock solid mobo with 780g chipset, searching for a non-intel branded mobo for intel proccy has been a pain so far.
I am planning to overclock E7200 to 3ghz, hence the mobo should have good overclocking capabilities.
Can u suggest an alternative mobo if i cant get IP35-E or Biostar TP35. My budget for the mobo is 5 to 5.5k. MSI's p45 mobo seems to be priced > 6k.
Thanks in advance.
p.s- any1 here bought IP35-E from ritchie street?
