So friends, I have been bitten by the upgrade itch since January 2011...my venerable 4year old beast(see siggy) is tired of today
Sandybridge was on my sights from long back...August 2010 to be exact(since the Anandtech preview came up )...Only after the launch of Z68 has it has become irresitible...
Well,this might be my last upgrade before I become a healthcare professional...so I have put aside quite a sum only for a few components...
I have these in mind...
Intel Core i7 2600K @15.8k+(Vedant); 16.2k+(MD)
Z68 mobo: ASUS P8Z68V-Pro@(will be available shortly)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 4GB*2 @5.3k+(MD,Tirupati)
Cooler: CM Hyper 212+ @1.9k+(MD), or
Cooler: CM Hyper N620 @2.5k+(MD)
Now about the thermal compound...what do u people suggest? Should I be satisfied with ones supplied with the cpu cooler or should I buy a separate one?
Options: Tuniq 4(440+), Tuniq 3(395+), Arctic Silver 5(475+)
Please put forward your valued comments.
Edit: I already have a Logitech G1 gaming desktop kb & mouse combo..will upgrade that later...
