My new system once i decide to buy it will have a single ATI\AMD GPU, A Cheap Nvidia GPU for PhysX and an RevoDrive3 120GB(PCIE).

I want to beable to take whatever processor I decide on and overclock it to its max potential, So overclock ability is also important and I'm looking to buy that new Samsung Green Ram and will also be looking at overclocking that.

I'm unsure of a budget, As I'm guessing the more features, and the more slots. The higher the cost!

If I say £200 could you spec me a good motherboard, Preferably capable of Ivybridge, although I am probably going to get a 2500k.

I've asked in the specialist section, as I don't want the motherboard choosing just based on cost. I'd like someone who actually has tested several or is aware of a certain motherboards performance to recommend something. :)
 
In that case will be one of the new Z77 boards, but you'll need to wait for them to be out ideally so people can get a better idea of how they fair.

One thing about a seperate card for physX is that it's not really worth it and can infact slow down game performance.
 
Hmm, I'm looking into scrapping ATI and going with Nvidia. A single solution with PhysX. And thanks for the heads up about Z77 boards, I just had a look at the New asrock and it looks quite nice. Will just wait around for some reviews. Just noticed Revodrives can be somewhat fiddley with motherboards and their sata controllers. So definitely need to make sure it works okay.
