| Khuutra said: The idea that any part can be really "future-proofed" in a PC is interesting to me, but I was looking at the i5 2500k anyway. Sucks that prices in Canada are higher than the US - can't find a 560 Ti below ~235 dollars - but that is what it is. Suppose I wanted to get an i5 2500k and a 560 Ti. What kind of motherboard would I want for that? |
Oh damn...I always forget you are a fellow Canadian.
Last week NCIX had MSI hawk 560 with like 5 games for 219 as well as the superoverclock one I bought... This week sadly, it looks like 560s have gone up.
However there is 1 video card deal right now that Canadians shouldnt pass on. I'd get 3 of these and plug em in jsut to see what happens (explosion, power outage?)...if I didn't get those gtx560s last week.

As far as mobo, an i5 2500k bundle like this is fairly decently priced and futureproof unless you plan on going 3 monitor 3D surround...
