which motherboard!

by xPERiA • 11 Apr 2012, 11:20 • Journals
hi, so my pc has been half dead lately, so I'm thinking of buying a few new parts

currently looking at the intel core i7 2700k
I'd need a good mobo suggestion (ATX), my 16gb corsair vengeance (1600mhz) has to fit cuz those are only a few months old. and my Connectors:

20+4-pin ATX
4+4-pin CPU
6-pin PCI-E
6+2-pin PCI-E
5 x Peripheral
1 x Floppy
3 x SATA

then I'm also looking at getting the HD7850 2GB, possibly from MSI.

I'd be replacing:

Asus M4A89GTD PRO
AMD Phenom™ II X6 1090T
Sapphire AMD Radeon 6850 1GB

Isnt there a new series of Intel cpu's coming very soon?
▼
xPERiA 11 Apr 2012, 12:42
new intel series always start at 500+ euros :D i don't wanna go over 300 :P

syriusz 11 Apr 2012, 12:43
Yeah but It should make the prices of the old ones go down
Parent
▼
Exc1te 11 Apr 2012, 12:50
the prices of old cpu's actually don't go down..maybe if you get them on ebay or some store that just wants to get rid of them. Look at some price graphs over the last 3 years.

well if you hold on like a month after ivy get released then almost any "lowest ivy processor" will be okay (i think same price as sandy with higher perf)

also i7 isn't worth it if you aren't making any photoshop,moviemaking,...


i5 2500(k) is the best perf/money INTEL proc for gaming atm

I am going to make my movie in a couple of months, I'm also taking that into consideration x)

Nicolah 11 Apr 2012, 16:02
well you're talking about real life movie or ETmovie??


if its ETmovie i don't think you need such an high end proc as i7 are.

but if you like wasting money, go for it!

depends on what exactly do you need from that mobo. But assuming that you want to do some nice overclocking, ASRock Z77 EXTREME4 could be good for you (if you are ok with mATX mobo, you can go for ASUS MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z/GEN3).
As for graphic card, stay away from MSI, they tend to be noisy, or at least noisier than same cards from other manufacturers. I personally prefer Sapphire, but Asus and Gigabite are also good way to go (depends on what kind of cooling you want, if you want oced version from the start and so on).

xPERiA 11 Apr 2012, 12:57
looking for an ATX mobo, should've added that, thanks
Parent
▼
FiLuS 11 Apr 2012, 13:06
well, you should be satisfied with that ASRock Z77. Or you could look at Asus P8Z77 branch, to find setup that fits you without paying for useless stuff.

I'm looking at the Asus Sabertooth P67, any thoughts ?
Parent
▼
squalli 11 Apr 2012, 13:51
go for p68 newer version!
Parent
▼
FiLuS 11 Apr 2012, 14:43
I wouldnt go for P67 just because its a bit outdated compared to P68/Z68. However, there should be insignificant (if any) cpu performance difference between P67 and newer P68/Z68, the main differences are in technologies concerning SSD caching and some other not so important minor features for you (something with QuickSync and other i-series related stuff, but nothing dramatic, especially not for gamers). And I believe all of those chipsets will allow you to safely overclock your 2700K.

xPERiA 11 Apr 2012, 14:58
I actually just received my SSD that I ordered yesterday: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB i'm going to install it now :D it's supposed to be insanely fast. :D cheers for the info's mate i'll read it up and consider it all together. If you'd have to make a budget choice, what would it be? (around 600/700) to get a processor/mobo/gfx card

wait for ivy bridge

e: intel also released the ivy bridge chipset, mobo's following soon I guess

Why would you buy AMD Videocard? Nvidia 680GTX? Nvidia 580GTX? Think about it :D
▼
xPERiA 11 Apr 2012, 13:31
I'm not planning to just throw away so much money, I'm viewing everything by budget, though i want my processor to be either this i7 or similar, no less. benchmarks show that the HD7850 is about as good as the ones you've mentioned, though those are atleast 100 more euros. x)

I could teach you a thing or two about analysing things, here's one. You only mentioned your father having a half decent job, which automaticly means your mother is a fat slag that either works as a fucking assistant secretary or sits at home eating cookies. Right now, at my age (21) I'm eligible to earn between 50 and 77k per year, depending on which company I'd go for, (right now Shell is my primary target) fyi, I've studied Process Operator (HBO) and I'm going to continue doing so, which will require university. When I'm as old as your father I'll have women like your mother on payroll cleaning my house so they can support their wheelchair children, such as yourself.

have a good day

Wait a month for the new mobos and cpus from intel
3570K (will be around 200 euros) on a Z77 chipset mobo (dont really know, probably around 100/120 euros) with the ati 7850 graphics card (little more than 200 euros)

Don't take sandy bridge.

Go for motherboard with Z77 chipset and Ivy bridge cpu that was just introduced.

http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/305922/intel-core-i5-3570k-boxed.html
http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/300749/gigabyte-ga-z77x-ud3h.html#tab:info for example.

Any Z77 board from MSI/Asus/Gigabyte/Asrock will do

Also i don't see your power supply just your connectors?!!

And why are you upgrading since your PC is pretty fast, and overclocking that CPU on that motherboard works good too. For example my max http://hyperion-gaming.net/files/bench/4punt3ghz06.png
