Pulled the trigger, I've been waiting for months! :dance: :dance: :dance:
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3965132/shit%20past%201013/stuff.png[/img] Buying this when I wake up later. [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] Finally moving on from my Q6600/680i. They served me well.
Make sure you wake up soon, everyone has been frothing at the mouth for these since the reviews came out last week. I foresee lots of "out of stock"
I agree. Thankfully my dad is waking me up ~8AM and I'll order straight away.
I can only wish... [media]http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/9003/cartl.png[/media] now waiting for decent combo deals to pop up [editline]wef[/editline] wait can't you just order right now?
My new build will be: 2600K OC'd GTX 570 GTX 260 (PhysX, extra monitors) ASUS P67 Deluxe Antec 1200 8GB Corsair XMS3
I'm probably moving on from my Q6600/680i build too!
broken page fix? [editline]wefe[/editline] why did people suddenly stop posting
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27296899]broken page fix?[/QUOTE] Thank you, it was driving me crazy.

[editline]9th January 2011[/editline] It seems like the P67 from ASUS are quite pricey. The P8P67 is $160, and has no SLI, while this champion, costing $150, has lots of goodness: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157217&cm_re=p67-_-13-157-217-_-Product[/url]

Oh shit so many motherboards which the fuck should I get? Also holy fuck they're cheap. [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] [img]http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sabertooth-P67.jpg[/img] Never seen a mobo like that, what's the point of covering it?

Wow, some of these motherboards also have UEFI on them. Damn!
[QUOTE=PyroCF;27300828]Wow, some of these motherboards also have UEFI on them. Damn![/QUOTE] Hell yeah I want a MoBo without BIOS (mostly because I've never had one, so it should be interesting). As long as they don't require me to sell my ass on the highway for a few years to afford one.
Cant wait to get my hands on the Intel Core i7-2600K. I'm most likely going to buy it later though when the price drops.
Can someone do a quick check and make sure everything is good? ((I'm basically getting a new everything) [media]http://i.imgur.com/j9gu6.jpg[/media] Also do I need the P67 Deluxe or can I go for just the normal P67? [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] Actually I'm probably switching to the normal ASUS P8P67. (Total 1250, including peripherals.)
Try and get an MSI mobo if that one doesn't have UEFI.
That ASUS mobo is a bit overpriced, in my opinion. The ASRock Extreme4 or an MSI mobo with SLI.
Can I use the same LGA1156 mounts for my after market CPU cooler or will I need to get new ones?

[QUOTE=Gustafa;27301819]It's a cooler which blows cold air over the motherboard, I'm not sure exactly how it works but every review I've read says it's not a gimmick.[/QUOTE] Yeah it also seems the materials are much better quality than normal. Though dust has to be a nightmare in there, hopefully the cover is easy to remove.
So if you know jack shit about computers, how do you know which one to get?
I had a hard time sleeping last night because of this :byodood: Well, off to building it. [url]https://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/100234/hello-fp[/url] Is this worth it? I'm taking the GPU & HDD from my old pc.
Would this at all be possible to install on a laptop? :ohdear: [editline]9th January 2011[/editline] I really, really know nothing about hardware. I know what specifications I have on this laptop, I know what I can and can't run, I can do pretty accurate assumptions on what settings I will be able to run upcoming games at (With system requirements)... This laptop has an Intel Core i5 430M, Dual 2.26GHz.
I'm excited to build one of these Firstly I need a job <3
Ordered my parts a couple hours ago. I can't wait till Wednesday.
