PParks: I think socket 1155/P67 chipset wants dual channel?


I'd be very careful on RAM choice. Everything I read says Sandy Bridge boards much prefer RAM specced at 1.5 volts. I've heard good things about Corsair XMS series on Sandy Bridge, but don't know if the RAM you have chosen is in the XMS series?

Apparently, the 32 nm process is quite sensitive to voltages.

Here's some good current testing of Sandy Bridge:

And I certainly don't know that the UD7 motherboard is superior for your purposes than cheaper Gigabyte models with the same P67 chipset.

I'd wait a few days and do more research unless it isn't particularly important to save $100 or more.

Generally, I'd lean against Coolermaster PSUs and go toward Corsair or Seasonic, but the CM may be fine.

If this were me, I would;;

1). Seriously consider whether you want a full tower case. These things take up tons of room and are usually never really utilized internally. You could cut $50 by considering something like the Corsair 600T..which is a mid tower design that offers pretty much all of the features of the full tower case without taking up all of the room.

2). You won't really need a 1,000watt power supply for the build you are considering. A 750w-850w would handle that load no problem and you might then be able to shave off a few more bucks. Stick with the modular design though..it will really allow much nicer cable management

3). is wireless really necessary? If you have the ability to connect via a network cable, this would be more more reliable. I only run wireless for convenience. Whenever possible, I hardwire my equipment.

4). Any reason you are doing 8GB of RAM in dual channel. I would consider instead doing 6GB of RAM in triple channel.

I know you are saying, why are you trying to save cash...I want an ultimate build. Well, take the money you save and buy yourself an SSD for your OS and most used apps. That will really make a difference.

1)Yes, I do want full tower for now and to add to the build later...The HAF X is a big one but if you check the specs there is not much different between it(HAFX) and the 600T....

HAF X: 23.20" x 9.10" x 21.70"
600T:23.30" x 10.40" x 20.00"

2)As for the PSU if I combo the HAF X and the Cooler Master 1000w I get $40.00 discount..which is what I would save going down to an 800w/850w modular and the 1000w leaves room for upgrades later..

3)I would also rather hardwire but wireless is needed where I am right now. Its a small price to pay for now.

4)As for the 8 gig RAM well Sandy Bridge 1155/p67 does not support triple channel
only dual
