[QUOTE="ALPHA17, post: 1675427, member: 33927"] Here are the answers to your queries -- 1) Instead of blowing away so much money on 2133MHz RAM, get extra 1600MHz RAM modules, if you get around over-clocking the CPU you can try pushing the RAM as well. Techextreme proprietors are offering good rates for G.Skill RAM on this [URL="http://www.techenclave.com/techxtreme/gskill-rams-133410/#post1664347"]deal thread[/URL], do look into it. 2) Good decision, if budget is a serious constraint go for the Core i7 2600[B][I]k[/I][/B], performance will be similar across the board. 3) Sorry I confused the price listing for the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 and the ASUS P8Z77-M PRO. The former is available for ~9500/- [add shipping] from Prime ABGB and the latter is priced ~12000/-. For motherboards here is a simple way to understand -- [LIST] [*] If you are going to over-clock you will need the Z77 chipset, the H77 is locked and even if you manage to over-clock the solution will be highly unstable. [*] The Z77 is a successor to the Z68 and P67 motherboards that Intel fielded for its Sandy-Bridge offering, new features of the cchipset are -- native support for USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0 and support for both family of processors, fabricated on a 22nm process the chipset runs cooler and more efficiently compared to the older Cougar-Point chipsets [P67 / Z68]; it purportedly over-clocks better too. -- @[USER=31106]cyberwarfare[/USER] your views solicited. [*] Apart from this there are certain features in Z77 that are shared by the older chipsets as well, that are -- UEFI BIOS, native SATA III, support for over-clocking as well as [B][I]IGP[/I][/B] on compatible CPU die. [/LIST] Never dealt with Systembuilder but they have quite decent reputation here; talk to @[USER=32810]saifbukhari[/USER] he bought a Core i7 3770[B][I]k[/I][/B] from them [recently] he can guide you best. Hope this helps, Cheerio!! [/QUOTE]
