If you are determined to go Intel, then you should get Sandy Bridge (i7 2500K or 2600K) instead of Nehalem. I believe the motherboards are back in stock. 3. You can spend a lot, lot less on a motherboard and not notice any difference. Ones that expensive are intended for overclocking. 4. You don't need a CPU cooler unless you overclock. |
i agree with everyting except for no4. The stock cooler that intel makes is shit. The clips can break and the fan falls off. get a fan the bolts from the backside of the mother board, just make sure the box you buy will fit it.
