1.2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x16 (PCIEX16_1, PCIEX16_2)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.
2.2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x8 (PCIEX8_1, PCIEX8_2)
* The PCIEX8_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot and the PCIEX8_2 slot with PCIEX16_2. The PCIEX16_1/PCIEX16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode when the PCIEX8_1/PCIEX8_2 is populated.
3.1 x PCI Express x1 slot
(All PCI Express slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
4.2 x PCI slots
Says who check the prices of the new Sandy-Bridge processors + motherboards @Delta - The Best in IT in INDIA + before shooting your opinion about not buying the Core i7 950 read some reviews SandyBridge Core i7 2600K review ~ I know we should not got on reviews but this is a fresh release and that is why we need to trust it. Add to that your post looks like an unedited text message does not help.kaneunderground said:buy sandy no point in buying i7 950..... gigabyte ud7 check it out
buddingwhizkid said:he's not going to sli now !
but future maybe !
and will the workstation graphics play games as well as the 580 and will it provide 3d ?
buddingwhizkid said:^ THANKS I LIKE THE MOBO !
i7 950 is sure and overclock to 4-4.5ghz is sure too
plus the monitor you said is not gonna do 3d gaming right ?
so he needs the 3d kit too .
i was thinking an h70 for the cooling or can spend a little more for full water cooling !
please give suggestions
What makes you think that the Gigabyte X58A UD3R is not upto the task?JAK said:Core I7 950 15 K
Gigabyte X58A-UD5(VFM then UD7) for 14.5K (Absolute NO NO for UD3R and Sabertooth)
Only thing UD7 has more than UD5 is slightly better chipset cooling and option of water cooling the chipset but IMHO is useless as the waterblock doesnot contact the chipset directly.
Corsair H70 for 5.3K (I ran my system @4.0 stable in HAFX, ~72C on prime)
HAF X 12.5K(Including one extra 200mm fan)
Nvidia GTX580 for ~28.5k(can Run all games at 1920x1080 at max settings)
HDD get half dozen seagate 7200.12 in RAID10 or 5 and get better speeds then SSD along with redundancy as well as huge storage space.
6x500gb = 10.8k or 6x1TB = 16.8k
Dont cry abt electricity bills if u can afford a 1.5lakh gaming rig then 100 per month on electricity bills is not an issue
RAM entirely upto you
KEYBOARD Razer Black Widow(Mechanical if u can live with the click click sounds)
Monitor ur choice(depends on taste)3D???why do u want to game with glasses:bleh:
Further IMHO Sandy bridge is not an upgrade something like a makeshift/stopgap arrangement until ivy

ALPHA17 said:The GTX 580 is a gaming card, the Quadro series is professional graphics how do you think that will make a difference in gaming. Have you used such a set-up?
ALPHA17 said:What is the HAF - X offering apart from high bragging rights over the NZXT Tempest EVO?
Rest of your suggestions I can fit in the picture
