Ok so here is my situation:
As a retail employee Intel enables us to purchase their chips, ssds, etc. at a discount. At the end of the month they are selling the i7 970 and the i7 2600k, as well as a 120gb and 160gb 320 series ssd.
Not considering cost, since they will both be well below retail, I'm looking for which chip set to start a new build with (and my first in quite a few years). Whatever one is best for gaming and Video capture is most important.
My main uses will be:
Gaming
Video Capture, Editing etc. via either Black Magic Intensity Pro or BM Shuttle
Some Overclocking
They only pieces of the build I already have are 2 Galaxy GTX 465s that I got for a really nice price. Since I get those i7s and those ssds for cheap, those will also be a part of my build. I am open to any suggestions for the rest of it.
My concerns are which capture device to go with? The Black Magic Intensity Pro Capture Card or the Shuttle with USB 3.0? From what I read with the Shuttle I need an x58 mobo for on board USB 3.0 or an x58 or p55 via pci express USB 3.0 card.
Knowing this as well as what else you know about the Black Magic Intensity products what would you guys suggest for my chip and mobo?
