Spec for work pc

[dmx07]

I'm looking for a bundle that won't cost the earth and can run 6Gbs triple channel RAM.

The 'Argon' & 'Radon' bundles on the OC site all come with 4Gb Ram and tech support say they don't support triple channel ram. The 'Krypton' bundles are a bit pricey & have features I don't really need to be honest (USB 3, SATA 6Gb etc) as they are aimed at gamers/enthusiasts.

I just need the motherboard, RAM & cpu. Something like an i5 cpu maybe, no idea what motherboard and any decent RAM. Is there a p55 board that supports triple channel?

It will be used mainly for photoshop work.

Rest of system:
Quadro FX3450 GPU
HX 520 PSU
2 X samsing hard drives

I don't need a high end board but would like to o/c a little.

Any thoughts much appreciated!

No

This is why you cant find anything, P55 (socket 1156) uses dual channel RAM X58 (socket 1366) uses triple
your options are either a socket 1366 bundle with 6 gig or a socket 1156 bundle, you can upgrade to 8 gig but they may not be able to give you same OC, if you decide on this then youre best waiting for the new SB which is 1156s replacement (1155) which is due in a few days

Thanks, 8Gb might be an option. Will have a look at prices. Won't be buying for a few days anyway so will definately hang around and see what the 1155 brings to the table.
