Hello, new to the forums /wave :D

Getting some new kit as currently im sitting on a dual core, 2gb ram build.

Opinions and any alterations are welcome/needed :P


Intel Core i5 2500K & Asus P8P67 Intel P67 Mainboard

Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB

Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator

Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler

Also some little things like fans, thermal paste and silicon pins.


Might be overclocking the i5 when i get everything up and running, hence the 3rd party cooler :P

Im keeping my current HDD, Optical Drive, PSU and Gfx Card. (gtx 460 card i know it could easily be improved but thats for another day :P)

I have a 500w PSU im sure this will be ok but if not please mention

Any advice, changes or anything would be great.

Cheers
 
despite what it says in the description that motherboard does not do crossfire/SLI at x8/x8 speeds. i'm very surprised that mistake is still up there because i told OcUK about this ages ago. the description they have used is the P8P67 pro, whereas what they are selling is the standard P8P67

if you want a motherboard that can do crossfire/SLI at speeds that wont bottleneck the graphics cards i would go for the i5 2500k (retail) and MSI P67A GD53

your PSU will be just fine with what you have, but if you add a second graphics card you will need a bigger PSU
 
Im not looking to go sli anytime soon but i would be nice to know i can if i want to, so i think i will go with that mobo

Cheers for the help so far guys keep it coming :D
