	Log in to remove this sponsored message everything seems fine, but the motherboard is not compatible with your CPU. you need a socket 1155, not 1156. however, they arent being displayed at the moment due to a produce recall. they should be back up for sale soon. i would wait for them, rather than going for current processors. also, for stock speeds, the stock heatsink will be fine. -------------------

	u cant use a p55 board with the sandy bridge cpus. ull have to wait a bit until the mobos are rereleased, and dont get the k version of a cpu if your going to run stock clocks, and i dont see why the stock cooler wouldnt be suffecient for stock clocks -------------------

	whats the avg price of the lga 1155 motherboards? so i can use something as a place holder And since the 1155 boards wont be available till around the beginning of April anything else i should wait on? and since here with the videocards should i go with a gtx that has higher clock speeds than the reference cards?

	You might want to check out this case. It has many of the same features as the HAF series, but this one retails for less. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216

	Thanks vagabond i actually like that case But please explain one thing... why does it have a fan spot to cool the back of the motherboard where the cpu back plate is? ------------------- Current Gaming PC GPU: Radeon 4890 CPU: Amd Phenom x4 stock clock) Ram: Mushkin DDR3 1600mhz cas 7

	Yeah, that is kind of pointless. I guess in theory it could help to have active air flowing over the back side of the processor area, but I don't think it would help anything.

	Mainstream 1155 motherboards are between $150 and $200. 1200watts looks to me like overkill for a P67 build, unless maybe you go for a top end motherboard that can support three graphics cards. I have a feeling that the OCZ ZX 1200W would be a better power supply than the Silent Pro Gold 1200, and it looks like it's a tad cheaper.

	sorry way too soon to post "Builds" And got a few more questions 1. furry will that monitor work with my ps3 as well? 2. does sata 3 support raid 0? 3 is it worth it putting SSD"s in raid? 4. If i can add another $1000 in a few months should i buy a single 580 now then another and add water cooling or stick with the 570's? ------------------- Current Gaming PC GPU: Radeon 4890 CPU: Amd Phenom x4 stock clock) Ram: Mushkin DDR3 1600mhz cas 7

	As long as you hook up the graphics through the DVI port you can hook up your ps3 through the HDMI port. If you hook up the graphics to the HDMI port you'll have to manually switch every time you want to play ps3. Raid support is determined by the southbridge, not sata spec. As far as the latest south bridges go ICH10R and ICH10DO support raid 1,5,0,10, and matrix. Not sure what mobo's with sandybridge have though. SSD's in raid is a waste unless you're running servers. For gaming individual SSD's are plenty. Also you lose TRIM support with RAID SSD's. ------------------- You look just like a zombie, inches from dead and pretty, With purple flowers in your hair.

I guess in theory it could help to have active air flowing over the back side of the processor area, but I don't think it would help anything. it does affect the temps a little. i mean, if you can mod a video card to put a fan on the back, and drop a few degrees, im sure you can do the same with a cpu. quote 1. furry will that monitor work with my ps3 as well? -------------------
