Just got a quote for a Sandy Bridge build:
Intel Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge 3.30Ghz 6MB LGA1155
ASUS P8P67 LE Intel P67 DDR3 USB3+SATA3 LGA1155 PCI-E
Kingston HyperX 2x2GB DDR3-1600 CL9
LG GH-22LS50 22X LightScribe Black SATA DVD Writer
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200RPM SATA II
Seasonic S12II Bronze 520W Power supply
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E
Lian-Li Lancool PC-K56B Mid Tower Case
At the moment I'm considering changing the mobo to P8P67 M Pro (Not sure of difference but many seem to say its a fantastic board and its only $10 more). Is there any other decent mobos in this pricerange? ($270 NZ or ~$200ish US)
Also unsure of PSU as I will be putting in one more HD - Will it be able to handle the jandle?
Otherwise looks good to me - Any thoughts on this build?
Your PSU will do fine, imo.
Yes your PSU will be fine, Adding another card for CF might starting being your threshold..
Thanks guys. Unsure of the motherboard though - isn't the one I've chosen the smaller type?
Smaller one compare too?
Actually I just realised that I'm looking at the M version of the mobo which is this: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/comp...p?partid=14253
Not the normal one as it is way too pricey:

Is there any other decent sandy bridge boards that are available on that site?
After all the good feedback from part 1, I feel I was able to come up with some pretty informative testing for all of you:

well done miahallen :up:
definitely recommend the lower latency ram if you can afford/justify it. Everything goes through ram :)
Thanks mia, giving it a read now :)
What did you think? :)Quote:

It's enabled. Just click for full-size, then right click on it and "save image as...". :)Quote:

Very nice review but I'm seeing better numbers in Boinc than you showed.
I'm running a 2600K on WCG thru Boinc and it's MUCH better than a Bloomfield.
I mean better than any Bloomfield I've seen numbers on.:D
This is at 4634MHz..

Loved your review, excellently done.:up:
