Hi Guys,

posted once before without a great response but I need to make some changes to my system from a hard drive point of view so will do a few things at once. I have around 1k to spend? well I dont have a budget but I suppose I wouldnt want to spend more than 1k...

I currently have on windows 7

gigabyte p67 ud4-b7 motherboard 1155 (wish to upgrade)
4x2 gb ram (wish to upgrade)
2 x 6970 graphics (wish to upgrade)
Antec Darkfleet DF85 (wish to upgrade) must have dustfilters.
I need a new 256gb ssd


OCZ gold power supply (wish to keep)
Sandybridge 2600k o/c to 4.5 on auto (wish to keep?)

Also have blue ray, wireless etc so really need to buy a motherboard and ram that will work with my 2600k chip so I can upgrade my hard drives and start fresh as possible. I have watercooling for my chip and it really runs fine so see no need to get one of them.

I run crossfire 3 monitors and like to play games in this mode

Please help me as I am unsure what to buy having not looked at hardware for some time.

Obviously the case needs to be big enough for graphics cards (been there and got the t shirt)

Thanks
Ross

If you're happy with the CPU why do you want to change the motherboard? That's a decent motherboard you have there - if you're not upgrading the CPU, keep it.

That said I've selected a few components below that should give you a good start

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus GeForce GTX 780Ti DirectCU II 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £479.99
1 x Corsair Graphite 760T Windowed Full Tower Gaming Case - Black (CC-9011044-WW) £144.95
1 x Gigabyte Z77-G1-Sniper 3 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £129.95
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE250BW) £109.99
1 x Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX24C11BRK2/8-OC) £67.99
Total : £947.87 (includes shipping : £12.50).



:)

I only looking for a motherboard as this one was £60 and is over 3 years old now :)

Just as a graphics card newb, how does that graphics card suit ? is it comparable with 2 x lesser spec cards?
