So my IB build is looking like this so far...

[chaparral]

Lol. Well it's that motherboard or the UDH5 and I really want my Rig to be completely black tbh xD if I can I would get the Gigabye g3 sniper

How about the Asrock Z77 Extreme6 motherboard

Soo... it would come with water already installed and coolant and never needs changing...?

Basically, yes.

The other reason why I suggested the UD5H was not only do you get the free cooler (which you can sell on) but you get Gigabyte's customer service in case there's a problem (after one year before that you can return it to the store). Asus on the other hand has dismal reputation for customer support.

i think the z77 asus v pro is a cheaper better choice imo,that or the gigabyte,just dont bend/break any cpu socket pins on the asus and youll be fine

 

[Ollie1132]

Yeah Ive heard that Gigabyte do have better customer support over Asus. Theres still a lot of time before I actually decide upon the motherboard but I would prefer it to be black so that I can have a matching colour scheme of sorts xD might have to live with out it being black however.

I also heard that the lastest highend Gigabyte motherboards are smoking HOT overclockers

Read the link

 

[wazza300]

nothing wrong with gigabyte,they offer free upgrde/replacement of those faulty boards,and its been fixed with revised bios's

 

[Ollie1132]

I did after I put that. Made me laugh and rather worried :L isn't the X79 motherboards for the i7 extreme processors?

 

[Ollie1132]

Oh why go for a 2GB graphics card if a 680 costs £400~ at 2GB and a 4GB costs £550~?

 

[trickynickyuk]

the sabertooth is a good board i am using a sabertooth 990fx AMD and it is amazing i have had no resulted with it plus the Z77 looks fantastic make sure you get the latest bios update for memory and stability you spec looks good mate but i would say defo change graphics to the 7970 the pries are dropping soon and performance at 1080p on all games will be fantastic.

That does not sound good at all from reading that link.

 

[Ollie1132]

I prefer Nvidia over AMD for graphics and Im not actually getting the graphics card until June anyway.

 

[Ollie1132]

So I might be buying one part for my next rig but I want to be able to use it with my current rig... so Im thinking either SSD, monitor or Im not sure what else any suggestion pleaseee
