What MB CPU RAM to replace i7 920 DO

jimmy321 · 15 Dec 2013 at 13:20

As above I need to replace these items. Will I also need a new cooler as the current one I have was bought years ago for socket 1336 (Titan).

My GPU is GTX 770, monitor 1440p.

I would prefer Intel but I'm out of the loop so I don't know which one but would like to get as many years use as my old i7.

Would have got an OCed bundle but I really need it this week so it's a self build.

Budget £700 but I don't want to spend this amount just for the sake of it.

Hi, running a i7 930 here, waiting for Haswell-E + DDR4 next year, that's if you are not desparate to upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestion, is the haswell the top intel CPU at the moment?

Ah sorry to hear that, a good example from jumper112 for your new build.

What's the make and model of your PSU, out of interest but it should be ok for running your new build.

if you want to save few quid, get £120 Gigabyte Sniper board and £40 Be Quiet Shadow Rock Pro SR1 cooler.

Was thinking about the cooler, I have a titan with 2 apache 120mm fans attached, anyone know it the 1150 fan fittings are backwards compatible?
