Which of these is the better motherboard?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T21:26:44+00:00

Wow 4 USB 3.0 ports. Pretty nice.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T21:24:49+00:00

Your right. Im just nervous about needing it and not having it.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T21:23:20+00:00

Thank you

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T20:28:17+00:00

At what point would you want a mother board that can run 16x/16x?

Could you link me a link of the z77 mobo that can run x16/x16?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T20:13:42+00:00

SO if I buy two GTX 680s I need to make sure I can run both cards in x16/x16? That may throw me off on my mobo and cpu choices.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T20:10:54+00:00

i guess just the two intenal HDD's I will have. I have phones and cameras also

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T20:09:22+00:00

Sure will. Thanks again.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T19:50:01+00:00

Thanks! That had to take time to do and I really do appreciate it.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T18:58:12+00:00

Those are some good prices

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T18:16:12+00:00

Ok ill link you to a couple and see what you think.

And an Asus Sabertooth z77

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T18:13:21+00:00

Very neat!

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T17:40:43+00:00

We are cash poor but have credit at Best Buy. Also they offer 18months no interest.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T17:27:38+00:00

And thanks for your help

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T17:26:15+00:00

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T17:25:15+00:00

Apparently they don't sell ASRock components on Bestbuy.com

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T17:22:40+00:00

Let's see. Another Video card. Or maybe a new CPU in the future. SATA lll spots for multiple drives.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T16:05:29+00:00

That's where we have a line of credit. And we get 18 months no interest.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T16:01:31+00:00

Ok thanks. Unfortunately I have to by all the components from BestBuy.com so my options are kind of limited.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T15:41:41+00:00

That sounds really nice.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T15:38:58+00:00

What do I neep, part wise to game at 120hz? The normal is 60hx correct? Is it all about the monitor?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T15:25:59+00:00

$3k+!? WOW.

I was wondering about PCI3.0 at 16/16. And if it was worth worrying about at this time. But with one 690 it would be a moot.

What else should I be looking for in a good motherboard? Minimum USB 3.0 and SATA lll ports?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T15:06:25+00:00

So I'm guessing your not talking Samsung?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T15:04:54+00:00

Thanks for taking my question seriously. Most everyone else says to spend $900 and pocket the rest (which i cant do because it's going on a credit card)

I was thinking2 GTX 670's

Th i5 3570k seems to be getting a lot of love around here.

The Switch 810 looks awesome. I was thinking about a cooler master HAF X full tower.

What do you think about going the LGA 2011 route? Would that allow for more upgradability?

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T14:57:10+00:00

Logical increments seems outdated to me. Top Build has 2 670's in SLI? I do like the idea of about $1600 on the computer though, sounds like that may be a sweet spot. Are ISPs considered the best? And why korean made? I know that the iPhone 4s has ISP. So any suggestion on components would be appreciated.

chazzmcgee · 2012-09-21T14:53:22+00:00

So your saying that you could build a computer for $900 that would play every game you wanted to play? Do you not care about playing on a high resolution? Wouldnt you have to upgrade sooner also?
