CPU/Mobo MOBO confusion

[ashwin006]

Hey guys...Listen... I m going for the C2D E6750 and 8800gts 320mb and have all the other stuff taken care of except the mobo... I want to go for Asus p5k delux...but unfortuantely its just beyond my reach... What should i do??... Is there any other alternative???

 

[ashwin006]

Oh....And i dont wanna go for a low end board as it ll bottleneck the other components... So do gimme a good reccomendation...

what is ur budget like btw?

You can choose from a XFX 650i or an ASUS P5NE SLI board, they certainly wont bottleneck your other devices and are absolute VFM.

Another vote for the XFX 650i, its a great board for the price and will certainly not bottelneck ur pc. Cost 5.2k. If u want better performance go for a P35 board, the Biostar P35 is ~6k. Stay away from the P5N-E unless u want SLI

Hey guys... I just saw this board from xfx which has a 680i chipset... What do u think?... Do u think it ll be good even if i dont use SLi??

 

[ashwin006]

The name of the board is N680 ILT9.. And i just askeda dealer and he said it ll b around 10k... So...What do u think???

 

[hunt3r]

^^Yes it will be good even if u dont use sli....

 

[ashwin006]

Oh...Great...Thanks man..

[ashwin006]
