Is it possible to just swap out your old Mobo and CPU and put in a new set without any issues... im talking about comparability with the OS on the Harddrive... or will i have to wipe my HD and reinstall everything all over again?

Almost immpossible to not get major issues. Back up your hard drive then reformat, install OS, etc etc.

Respect to all those who upgraded now but NLS61's comment is exactly why I would wait until CoD is out. I've got a nagging suspicion that as soon as we fly over London <paste Tree_UK's comments here ![]() With CoD I think it's going be CPU intensive and the 2500k and 2600k may not be enough, don't get wrong it's a great CPU, but a lot of what the reviewer sites base their comparisons and recommendations on are on games that are 12 months old or older and are GPU limited not CPU. I hope I'm wrong but my male intuition is acting like my cautious wife telling me to wait. |

Yea, looks like there are a few variants of the Asus P8P67's. This one looked like it had everything I needed on it http://www.centralcomputers.com/comm...=1299810089640 , does not matter to me how many usb ports it has though, I have a 10 port usb hub for that. I liked that it was Nvidia/sli and ati/crossfire compatible so I am not restricted to one or the other down the road. And it was under $150. Quote:

With only 2 weeks to go, the smartest thing to do is wait. But on the other hand if you are one that can not wait - current top of the range SB models are the ones to get. Since I am rebuilding my rig from scratch, I plan on waiting for at least a month or two after the release when we will have an accurate picture what exactly is needed to run this sim and what settings are possible for normal gameplay.

I did a new build, with a 2600k@4,6 GHz , cooled by a Corsair H70, with 8GB DDR3 RAM,
Mobo Asus P67 Pro, Nvidia GTX 580 , SSD 80 GB Intel, HDD WD 1TB,PSU Corsair 850W I was able to run Crysis warhead in enthusiastic mode ,4AA without any hiccups at 1920x1200 with a processor rate of occupancy of 43% each core no more than that. It's the faster system I ever had, period and it can run any game you think without a drop of sweat. I highly recommend it for anyone interested. |

Also consider that it is very easy to sell used Intel CPU's on ebay, which makes the LGA1155 part very attractive now since you can sell it a year later for ~70% of what you paid for it. I just sold my E8400 last month, got over half of what I paid for it new over 3 years ago!

Cool, that is quite the rig I was planning to buy, simply not sure if I should go for an SSD for the OS. But definately: 2600k GTX 580 8Gb DDR3 P67 Mobo Enermax 620W (existing) What Ram exactly is it btw? May I also ask if you are happy with the H70 and what you changed to get the cpu that high and what the temps are? |
