Alright, so I've got my mind made up on the i5 750 and some Gskill Ripjaw memory
Now, the question is which motherboard..?
Would this one be enough to take the cpu to 4ghz..?

I can get a bundle consisting of:
* Core i5 750
* MSI P55 GD65
With delivery this would be £265
Think I'm gonna take that!
Now, is the core i5 and i7 mounting holes the same..? So if I have a waterblock for core i7, would it work on a core i5..?

the mounting hole are different.the only boards that
have two different mounting holes are the EVGA's
they have mounting hole for 1156 and 775's,all the
other boards just have mounting holes for 1156's
so the 1366 stuff most likely wont work for the 1156

Hi, I dont know wich motherboard to buy.
The possibilities and prices are this:
MSI P55-CD53 Motherboard $129.99
Biostar TP55 Motherboard $119.99
Asus P7P55D LE Motherboard 139.99
Gigabyte P55-UD3R Motherboard 150.00
Biostar T5 XE Motherboard 149.99
Asus P7P55D Motherboard $159.99
MSI P55-GD65 $169.99
and only if you say its necesary
Gigabyte P55-UD4P or Biostar TPower I55 or EVGA P55 LE Motherboard $179.99 (both 3)
I would like to spend about 150 or 160 but if you say there is a considerable difference between the ones from 150 to the ones of 180 I will go for the one wich cost 180.
Another thing is that I wont have any garantee cause I am from Argentina and I am bringing it from Miami. If you know any other place in miami with phisical store say me, the only wich I know is COMPUSA or TigerDirect.
Greetings and Thanks in advance.
If you plan to overclock the the more expensive boards are better, most of them have 8 phase power design around the CPU which helps with stability...
I think all things taking into account, the MSI P55 GD65 is the best option..

I read in a review that they broke the BIOS flashing it, they could not repair it and send it to MSI. Also they said that the system of flashing by usb drives when its alredy damaged was very bad. What do you think about it? If something like that happens to me I dont have any garantee.
sory for my poor english
Hi Bingo, could you run a few benchmarks with this board..?
Everest cache and memory bench..?
