Get the pain over and order soon or sell the board and go with the new tech.

This makes the Core i5 760 instantly better value than any current Sandy Bridge CPU. £140 to £150 for a Core i5 760 and a motherboard is great value IMHO!

have a look round mate sure you will find something. either way not too many more posts for you to get mm access.

beasty6 · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:30

all i need is RAM £40-45
cpu £140-150

thats all i need to get the system running then i can buy a psu and gpu when it starts getting power hungry

will i need a branded psu for that system before i start overclocking and a gtx 460 ???

beasty6 · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:31

still i need to be on here for 90 days :/ lol

dam... summit always messes up for me

skylineboy · 4 Jan 2011 at 23:08

as long as the psu meets power requirements and fittings it will run but don't skimp for sake of it. its your pc tho mate. £40 ram is doable. maybe leave a note on the forum
asking about stock??

skylineboy · 4 Jan 2011 at 23:10

I just looked they are in stock mate

Hm, I also have concerns about this.

Have been thinking of saving up for a gaming, (well emulation) sff and was gonna go i3/i5.

But by the time I have the cash, looks like they may be gone :-\

Will be on a budget also and not even sure if sandy is a good idea for sff's anyway?, (temps-wise)

Is it worth getting cpu/mobo soon as i can? Think even 1156 i5 may be overkill for emulation,so sandy would prob be wasted anyway.

skylineboy · 6 Jan 2011 at 19:46

would probably wait in your case Chizuna. price will probably drop at least on other gear and that won't tie you down to a tech.
