Upgrade Advice Required - Help Appreciated

ElusiveWarrior · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:00

Hi all,

I currently have a Q6600 OC to 3ghz on a Abit IP35 board with 4gb OCZ2P800R21G (4x1Gb)

I am looking to upgrade all 3 for between £250-300

So far I am looking at :
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM
Asus P8P67 LE Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL )

I am looking for thoughts / suggestions please.

Thanks

looks good to me. i'd save a few pennies and use either of these instead of the ripjaws though:

will consider that

other than that all looks ok though?

Just to update, decided to wait and get the pro version of board (when I have the extra cash)

Thanks

Pro version sounds better. Not liking the 'LE', it being too lightweight for a P67

if you're getting oem CPU you may need a CPU cooler dependent on if your current one supports 1155.

i'd get the kingston ram over the balisstix. just seems mroe reliable for the same speeds, and cheaper too
