Thinking of upgrading my workstation. its a AMD 940, 4GB RAM, twin GTX460s
What would you recommend for a CPU/Mobo/RAM combo for maximising folding output. I'm only considering a single CPU so Sandy or Ivy - it will be overclocked from what I'm reading at stock Ivy but overclocked Sandy as it hits higher speeds? The motherboard should have 2 PCI-E slots.
I had thought:
Intel Core i7-2700K 3.50GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard MSI Z77A-G43
Avexir MPower Yellow Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CM)
I will be opening a thread in the general discussion about the finer details so for now can I have opinions on the above.
Thanks
*Edit*
I was also thinking about a solid state drive. How is F@H with solid state drives? I will also have twin 500GB mirrored pair as storage, to preserve the solid state drives would it be wise to install F@H on these?
