Updated build.

Decided to go with the MOBO suggested. I don't see double booting being too much of an issue and if it does we can always send back for replacement.

Secondly, the GFX card is the only real thing I would consider changing for something cheaper. What is your opinion this card?

www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17885

If that card is no good could you suggest an alternative.



Looking to make purchase before 1pm.

Again 8gb is a bit overkill, and you wanna replace the 1tb with a "Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB". That's what I use and loads of others, their pretty amazing.


Should be alright otherwise!

Also I think that P8P67-M board is a shittier version of the real one (which is why it's $100 less), I could be wrong though. BoL swiftz

its a micro atx version.... i dont particularly like micro atx boards but it should be fine..

No real expansion tho. you migt aswell drop to a 600W Strider and save some money.

i would...
Get a GTX570 over the 6970
Get a Samsung F3
Drop to a Bitenix Shinobi
use the savings for a ASUS P8Z68-V B3

I went from 75hz back to 60hz and thought I was lagging for a few days but I got use to it... I'm pretty sure 120hz is not a gimmick.
Playing on a 120hz for a few months at home... then going to WCG the monitor was 60hz + couldnt get 250fps stable..

It was like blocks moving on my screen i was crying

If you have problems with the P8P67 Pro double booting please PM me and I can help you. I have fixed this for my own machine.

Most of the suggestions in this thread are sound.

Boot lopping is an easy fix if you happen to be lucky, for some none of the fixes work.

The neg - Config tweak the game to the point you have as much advantage as a hacker.
