The time has come (update opinions)
I'm tired of the core of my system, and it seems the mobo (the second one of the same model) died this afternoon.
I am faced with replacing the same old motherboard with yet another one that will fail completely within 2 years (if the previous two are any indication)
So I'm looking to update
Power Supply
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
I will continue using my current case (plenty of room it's a full tower), graphics, monitor, hard drives, and periphs for the moment
Anyhow I was looking at something like this,
Newegg.com - EVGA P67 FTW 160-SB-E679-K2 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Newegg.com - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M4A1600C9
Have to keep the price tag under 800, but I do want performance parts.
My problem is I'm not so sure on the motherboard, for one thing I currently have an ati graphics card, so tri-sli may not be so realistic.
It doesn't have to be intel either.
I'm more interested in raw performance/least issues than I am with brand loyalty.
A crossfire motherboard option is also fine, as a second ati card may be coming.
Any specific suggestions are welcome.
If you can include a new case keeping the price in check all the better.
