Hey guys just looking for some IB upgrade advice since it's out soon!
I've already bought my new SSD (Crucial M4) and CPU cooler (Corsair H60)
Looking at getting an Ivy Bridge I7 3770k along with an AMD 7970 GFX card...I can't see myself Crossfire-ing in the future but I might dabble into it at some point. I have a Creative X-Fi sound card so need expansion slots. I would also like USB 3.0 and PCI 3.0.
So what motherboard are good? I've used Gigabyte before and was looking at their boards since I like them and they've never caused any problems for me.
I intend to OC the processor and it's mainly for gaming and video encoding (digitising my DVD collection) along with basic MS suite stuff (Excel, Word etc...).
Cheers all!
