I think that 2TB disks are the sweet spot at the moment in terms of £/GB. But if you don't need the space you have gotta try an ssd, it is the single biggest upgrade you can make imho

I've got a 2500K with an Asus p8p67, it's fantastic.

I've heard heard that those green drives are great storage drives but don't really work well as boot drives so I'd go for something else there if I was you. Also wanted to ask, is that Mushkin memory triple channel memory? You need duel channel for the P67 boards.

Hope this helps.

IS there a point in getting the K version of the 2500 as the 2500k is for overclocking.

As he's not using onboard graphics yes you're right, the 2500K is pointless in your situation, save yourself a few quid.

The p67 boards are dual-channel not tri-channel, go with 4 Mushkin Silverline

SSD for boot drive

If your not over-clocking then go with the 2500

Depends on your budget. OCZ have just brought out the Vertex 3, although I haven't read any reviews on them. I have a couple of Vertex 2's in Raid 0 and couldn't be happier. The old gen 2 Intel ones are still rated as well.

Same with using P67, H67 if the OP is running all stock.

Come on Chuby123, this is Sandy Bridge. Overclocking is pretty much tweaking the multiplier and voltage, that's it.
