Hi Guys.

Not been on in a while.

Not been following the Ivy bridge release so please explain to me if/how/why this spec i have made is wrong;

ntel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail

MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [Z77A-GD65]

G.Skill TridentX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C10 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit

I already have a water cooling system and i have this GPU:

MSI GeForce GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR III Power Edition 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Should i get another of these GPU's while im at it?

I also have a good PSU already that will run this stuff.

Again, i havent been keeping upto date on all this new tech so please explain to me if i have gone wrong.

Cheers.
 
Hi guys

I just picked the most expensive chip lol.

Rather silly but usully gets you the best.

Anyway im wanting to use it for gaming, watching stuff at the same time and phot editing but only for hobbies.

Cheers.
 
Ok well im thinking of getting the i5 3570k instead then and save off upgrading my GPU for now.

you think thats the best way?
 
ok cool cheers.

Is that spec going to be cost effective then?

The MSI board and the memory etc?

Are they good value for money?
