Hey guys,
I will be getting the i7 975 processor extreme edition at a pretty decent price.Please suggest a suitable mobo. Right now, I am considering the evga X58 mobo, but I have very little knowledge in hardware.
My rig will ONLY be used for computational work, absolutely no gaming or overclocking, so haven't thought of a GPU.
The sketchy details of my soon to be rig are:
CPU: i7 975
Mobo: Need suggestions. Inclined to evga x58 sli
RAM: 2133MHz OCZ blade rams 6gb
HDD: 160 gb Intel SSD. (It is enough for my work)
PSU: VX550 (Will it be enough?)
Cooling: None as it will be in an AC environment 24x7
OS: linux (fedora).Computational work on 'Gaussian 09'
Price: No restriction. Will be paid by my university.
The above was suggested to me by a friend.]
Out of the above, processor and RAMs are confirmed. Existing PSU (Vx550) will be used.
Please suggest a mobo so that those sweet 2133MHz rams will work to their full potential.
Thanks in advance.
