EVGA Z68 Mobo £191.62 Inc VAT ? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/evga...-sata-iii-6gb-s-sata-raid-pcie-20-(x16)-e-atx Thinking about a new Mobo + Processor for an i7. Wondering if this was the way to go as it seems vastly more expensive elsewhere.
I am planning to put an i7 2700 with a good cooler in there and upgrade to a decent graphics card to replace my gtx 560. I want a futureproof mobo - is this a little extreme? I got the p5ql for my q9650 but its a super weak mobo I should have got a better one at the time and don't want to make the same mistake again!
yeah extreme. asus z68 deluxe or pro maybe. you should get a m/b with 2 8x pci e slots in case of xfire or sli in the future
price and no regular pci slots if you need them. mainly price. I do however regret buying my m/b because I cant add a third 580 for tri sli. I have a psu powerful enough for that.
Na, don't think its SLI but I'm not a fan of more than one GPU. I'll be running with one. http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
Ah lovely, Thank you muchly, Leftfield. I do love Scan a lot. I saw them doing some cool stuff last year at the Gadget Show live and bought some stuff from them and they very kindly gave me free delivery for a year, which runs out very soon .
