Planning my next upgrade with IVY bridge, mobos and memory
I'm sure many of us are watching for information about the release of the new IVY bridge CPUs and supporting hardware like Mobo's and memory.
I'm wondering if in their travels anyone has come across an ASROCK or GIGABYTE motherboard that does NOT have onboard graphics.
Specifically, I'm looking to
Will not touch ASUS mobo;s. Had 7 of them, all died within first 12 months. ASUS refused to repair or replace 2 of them. Also wont touch rubbish like MSI.
- Upgrade my 8gb ram to 16GB @ 2133 MHZ (actually running at 2133, not 1600, like what the Gigabyte seems to want to do). Probably will use G.Skill memory.
- Add a IB 3770K CPU
- Add a Z77 chipset mobo with all the new features, UEFI and so on.
- With NO onboard graphics.
- Maybe upgrade my GTX 460 to a GTX 580 (depending on funds)
Not asking anyone to go and do the research for me, I can do that for myself, but just wondering if anyone is already aware of a graphics-less mobo.
