Intel has had some problems with motherboard chips for the new CPU's (such as the i5-2500) so you will find it hard to get a suitable motherboard over the next few weeks. Motherboards for the i5-2XXX (LGA 1155) will have a P67 or H67 chipset. The newer i5 CPU's are much better than the older ones (older ones being LGA 1156/P55 & H55) so it's definitely worth going with them once the motherboards are available again (probably 2 weeks or so). --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||

I wasn't planning on ordering any of these for almost a month anyway lol. And the stuff like the HDD and DVDRW are interchangeable with almost anything tbh, I'm not too worried about those choices. I'll keep an eye out for a compatible motherboard tho, thx!  -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=- W I N N I N G | ||

Also I didn't look at the case you listed, so that may have fans, but if you are planning to Overclock I would look into some cooling units. If you need any ideas I build PCs quite a lot, both for work and for my own personal interests, so would be happy to talk about it. Edit, Just read your having the new sandy chip, only a select few of those can be/will ever be overclockable. Just something to think about if thats the direction you wanted to take. -------------------- Rest When You Die Son. | ||
