So I'm about to do my new build, and I want to use Gigabyte as my motherboard platform.
It's going to be a Z68 board with an i5-2500K
I want to overclock it a bit - easily.. No bleeding edge stuff. Stability is more important that 2% performance.
I want to utilize the ability to use onboard graphics when I'm just surfing the web or watching a movie, and then my discrete gtx 580 for gaming. And that's without changing my current dvi cable between the motherboard and graphics card. My monitor has a free hdmi and displayport.
I want to use Intel Smart Response - preferably with an mSSD drive. (drive doesn't need to be included - as that would just default me to the issd board)
I want to use both Sata6 and Sata3 drives on it.
I need 2 pci expansion slots.
I want Erp LOT 6 support
And lastly I need an 8gb memory kit on it as well. The gigabyte memory compatibility list is like reading a magic scroll... I was thinking about just getting a pair of Corsair Vengeance pc12800 cl9 sticks, but I can't find them on the list. I need something that doesn't have a huuuuge heatspreader, as I'm putting a Noctua NH-D14 cooler on it.
Any help is much appreciated..
