Hi my names is Wesley AKA Lely.

i7-2600k

i7-2700k

​

MOBO's​

for the mobo's i will only buy the brands listed above.

I will be using the computer for MAJOR GAMING. Internet fun/youtube/Email/Music/watching MOVIES ETC.

So please if someone knows what mobo and cpu i should choose let me know.

I don't want overkill on the mobo (example of overkill $400MOBO just 2 PCIe 16x/16x PLEASE NO 16x/8x.

And i will be overcloking the cpu but only minimal OC's i maybe will just take it to 4GHz 24/7

Hey you know what mobo can support x16/1x16 for sli/crossfire

all i find is the DAM 16x/x8 or x8/x8

I NEED A SANDYBRIDGE MOBO WITH FULL x16/1x16 SLI/CROSSFIRE.

This one has pcie x16 in xfire/sli My link

Besides the ud7 you got Z68A-GD80 (G3) , Z68A-GD65 (G3)

Doesn't Sandy Bridge only support 16 lanes? If so, then a second x16 slot with 16 lanes would be pointless, unless you only have a single video card and you are going to move it further down. And even then there's not really that much of a difference between 8x and 16x.

BTW, the prices in the US is like 2/3 of the prices here in Europe, so it would be kinda stupid to by from Europe, not to mention the shipping which can be a little expensive.

I Thought the difference between 16/16 and 8/8 was like barely anything
