mobo for high-end SB build??

New member
have started doing research on my new SB build before Intel recalled the CPU.

Now,I will buy the stuff immediately after the new mobos becomes available....here are my partial choices.

1.CPU Sandy Bridge 2500k, 2500k is much better than 2600k bucks/performance wise if you do not do a lot of graphics editing.

230 bucks

2.mobo(need advice) now considering Sabertooth P67,I am not a fan of graphics BIOS but that is a bonus....anyone has good experience on Gigabyte P67 boards,how about their feature?? I do not care blue-tooth and ROG stuff and I only want the best craftship and best pratical feature(like two 16* channels,becasue I will do 2-way SLI on board),so no way I will consider ASUS Maximus.

230 bucks

3.RAM Ripjaws X 8/8/8/21 decided 4gb*2

130 bucks

4.Cooler Noctua-D14 any disagreement????absolutely no( only con of it is the color scheme,wish it is black)

90 bucks

5.Video Cards EVGA GTX570 HD *2( I will buy KR models because it is 35 bucks cheaper each and I think 3-year warranty is sufficient,how is your opinion??)

660 bucks with rebate

6.Storage

SSD Intel 510 120gb( will be available soon)

280bucks

HDD Western Digital Black 7200rpm 500gb( it is stable according to reviews on Newegg)

60bucks

7.PSU

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold series 1000w

lowest price is 207 on amazon???anyone know where I can find a better price??

207 bucks

8.Case

Lian LI PC-P50-WB

awesome mid tower case,no reason to argue!!!!!!

195 bucks

9.Moniter

Dell Ultrasharp U2410

got a great refurbished one on Ebay for 320 bucks.

320 bucks

about 2500 in the end,really need advice on Mobo!!!!!welcome to any reply

Just because you said nobody would argue i will for cooler go for thermalright silverarrow:P over the d-14 that the forum seems to have a fetish for but to be fair they are more or less even the silver arrow is supposed to be quieter though

much respect for going for coolermaster over corsair they are quickly making a good rep to rival that of corsair

scan.co.uk

ebuyer.com

and play.com all have it for £120 not sure about us delivery

maybe go for samsung spinpoint over western digital

other than that looks good! specially those duel 570's mmmh*drifts*

I'm using the x58 version of the sabertooth and it seems to be a great board for a casual user like myself
 
I like asus motherboards but TBH I would go with the gigabyte ud7 for your motherboard. Watch Tom's Video on it. Its the only one besides the MSI big bang marshal to have two PCIe slots running at x16. Since your going with 2 vid cards why not get the best out of them? The Sabertooth is a good board from what I have seen, if that is what you would like, then go for it

I prefer corsair over the cooler master psu. But that is a personal preference.

Everything else looks good
