I don't disagree. You can't replace all your parts every time a new technology comes out tho.
PSUs and cases can be used for another build most of the time which is why I'll gladly spend a few extra on them.
Anyways thanks for the help even though we disagree on a lot of things. I've decided...
The reason why I'm spending a little extra is because I want a future proof computer where I don't have to go around worrying all day over buying the cheapest possible equipment I can find. Also I would like a stable ground for overclocking.
@mfenn, I won't buy ASRock simply because of the 1...
To put it simple I would get 2 years with ASUS/Gigabyte and 1 year with ASRock. Also I ment the ASRock mentioned earlier is 20 euros less than the ASUS I just mentioned.
Why the PRO over the normal ASUS P8Z68-V? This is something I've been trying to figure out for a while now since 99% of...
So Z68 is the way to go then? Which one would you suggest in the 150 euro range(~$210)?
That ASRock card only has a 1 year warranty, only one PCI-e x16 slot(which might not be a big deal, but still).
This one Asus P8Z68-V gives me another year of warranty(and a few small things) for 20 euro. I...
Asus P8P67 PRO REV B3
What about this one?
I actually get 90 degree SATA ports and option to run SLI in the future. What's the general difference between P67 and Z68?
First of all, the reason I decided to replace my PSU is because something in my previous built was bad but I couldn't find out if it was the PSU or the Motherboard. Trust me, I tried.
The reason I picked that PSU is because I really liked the Antec case. It's not too big, but still larger than...
So this is what I'm ready to buy right now, but I would like some last comments on it.
Processor: Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-2500K
Motherboard: Asus P8P67 DELUXE REV B3
Memory: G.Skill 8GB (2x4096MB) Ripjaws X Performance
PSU & Case: Antec Continuous Power 850W & Antec Performance...
What do you think about this motherboard?

My memory isn't on the compatible memory list tho :| I never seem to be able to find my memory on those lists.
Hello AnandTech forums. After almost 2 years with my half-assed first time self built computer. I decided to start a new project. My pc will be used for mainly gaming, perhaps streaming as well. My budget is around 1,000 euros(~$1,400). Considering I plan on using my old PSU, and perhaps my old...
So if I get my hands on a voltmeter and the voltages seem fine. It has to be the motherboard? (I will try to get a voltmeter and test the PSU asap)
Since 2 different memory sticks broke in the same slot under 3 months, I don't think its the ram stick itself being faulty.
Everything worked really well from what I experienced, which is the weird part, as this "happened overnight". I noticed nothing when i shut down my computer to go to sleep and in the morning the next day it wouldn't boot.
Well how about this. Since I had two different RAM sticks "die" in the same slot, while the other stick stays the same. Would it be safe to assume its the motherboard causing this?
Hello AnandTech forum. I bought my system about one year and a half ago. Just a few minutes ago my second stick of RAM has "died". The computer refuses to boot up if I have it installed in any slot. It's 2 sticks so I am currently using the other not faulty one.
Basically I am trying to...
