I am thinking about building a new system.
Things to note. Haswell-E around the corner. 9 series chipsets are due soon.
desirable traits
-8 Sata connections
-Support for at least two way Crossfire/Sli at full speeds
-4 memory slots
Board color theme all black, or black and red
-waterblock available for board, or built in water cool capable.
I'm currently running a AMD 8320@5ghz on a Gigabyte FXA-990-UD3 Performance is fine right now, but I'm wanting to take that next step up.
I am thinking I should just hold off until Haswell-E comes out DDR4 and x99 chipset looks appealing, and well 8 cores + HT. I expect it will be rather pricey at release though. So may be only to manage the haswell refresh cpus (4790k), Think I could go haswell-E for 1200$? (cpu, ram, motherboard)
what are some of the boards you would recommend for a 4770k or the upcoming 4790k. I will be overclocking.
