i5 upgrade

jwest · 9 Nov 2009 at 14:01

Hey, for no real reason I’ve decided to upgrade from e6300, asus p5w DH deluxe, 2 GB gskill ram.
So I’m thinking this:

I've gone with the asus as I’ve always had asus motherboards and not had a problem with them, except my current one where the usbs don’t seem to work anymore. But I’m open to suggestions if that’s stupid.

I’m keeping the hdd, psu, and gfx.

Feedback, is this worthwhile? I'll use it for some gaming, 2d and 3d modelling and Photoshop, graphics etc.

Should run sweet as a nut. You're only going to get good comments - unless of course you are doubting whether you really need it...

cheers mate, thats all i needed to know

Although, you do know that CPU isn't coming with a cooler? It's the OEM version. Personally I think you should get the retail as you get the extra warranty, cooler and kool case sticker.

Cheers, the hsf ive got at the moment says its compatable with the i5, I think, but I'll double check.
