It's been a while since I built a PC, but my Q6600/Asus P5W Deluxe system is starting to fail now. Takes several goes to get it to boot into windows, often requining me to power down the system a few times. It is time to make my desktop reliable again with a decent upgrade.
I was thinking of getting these components to upgrade system:
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM
Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/LGA1156/LGA1155/LGA775/AM2/AM2) **BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL DEAL**
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX) **BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL DEAL**
I do like a quiet pc hence going for the Noctua cpu cooler
Just thoughts on that particular motherboard and ram. Something reliable, I would be happy just using automatic oc settings which I understand should get that cpu upto around 4.4ghz, which would be great for me.
