Hey guys,

I recently bought 2 new ssd drives but after getting them plugged in realised my mboard doesn't support sata 6gbs

So im now on the lookout for a new board n cpu combo. Ive only got the cash for the board at the minute but will pick up the cpu in next couple of wks. The cpu I plan on getting is this one

Is this the latest n best for the money?? And to go with this ive chosen 3 boards all from the same manufacturer, which would you choose and if you wouldn't, which is a better choice? Thanks so much, its you guys who helped me in choosing my ssd`s aswell

That is a side by side comparison of the main features of those 3 boards.

The black edition boards have a free upgrade program currently running - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18631511

That's a crazy deal!!!
I think ill go with the black edition then, do you know the differences between the 2 I posted bcus one is more expensive

I added a comparison link for you in my first reply, that shows the differences found between them.

there is a bit more not mentioned such as the VRM phase count to supply voltages, but thats not so important.

oh im sorry I missed it due to the deal blowing me away
from what I can see theres nothing there which would bother me, would there be any diff in performance otherwise the cheaper one seems the better deal as Ive only got one gfx card

The Force is a great Overclocking and tweaking board. If your clocking choose that one.

Otherwise all are fine actually.

No performance difference at all, maybe at the high high end overclocks the UD5H may be more stable, thats about it.
