So the i5 2500k will perform on that board and will be able to overclock?

Alexander E · 18 Aug 2012 at 20:17

Also its around £100 over budget, so although 2500k is clearly the better processor i may end up having to go with AMD :/ if i can find enough money or a cheaper place to buy parts

Yes it will work on that board and be fully overclockable.

If you cant afford the 2500K get a Z77 board and an I3, none of the BD chips are worth thinking about.

Ok sounds good, i think I will choose the hd 7770 I believe that with that mobo I can always crossfire later when I have the money and more GPU performance/power is needed

That board does Crossfire at the better 8X/8X speed for both slots.

So with a single GFX card the top 16X PCi-E slot gets the full 16X bandwidth, when a second card is fitted it separates this 16X evenly to both 16X PCi-E slots.

The slots may be a physical 16X in length, but they aren't electrically wired as such, if that makes sense?

Yes i think i get that

I think i will get the windows 7 Home premium OEM version thing from ******** but i can get the other parts from ******** for much cheaper and reduce my cost. is that a bad idea or are there other parts that i should buy from a more reputable source?

^
Do me a favor, remove those competitor names.

So you come to a companies website with the intention of not buying from them?

As far as im concerned this is a forum, if you dont want to help then...fine but it would be nice to know that people would be nice enough to help anyway

If the prices were lower then i'd buy but if you read my posts you'd understand that im trying to get the lowest prices ok??

stulid · 20 Aug 2012 at 08:02

Thats fine, just please read the forum rules about mentioning competitors and price hinting at other places.

Alexander E · 20 Aug 2012 at 08:03

Yes its a forum but it is explained both many times when you join and by several of the users that it is a forum dedicated for a retailer. Amazon also has a forum like thing but people don't post in there asking for help with other companies stuff....
