Hi all.
Just saw a bargain in the play.com sale and I've went ahead and bought it. £30 for 2GB of Kingston HyperX 1600mhz RAM (Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/2G) so I got 2 lots. Thats 4GB of good branded DDR3 RAM for £60! Haven't seen it that cheap in ages, if ever. Seemed such a bargain I just had to buy it even though it's currently no use to me!
My current system is an E6600 and an asus P5B with 2GB corsair DDR2 so naturally it wont be going into that!
I've read that because of the voltages on this RAM it has to be in an AM3 build, which is fine by me as I was considering an AMD upgrade at some point anyway. Question is which CPU and Mobo combo do I go for?
Want to get an X6 1055T but not sure if I can afford it. Was hoping the Phenom quad core with 2 cores disabled would reach the channel soon so I could potentially unlock a 4 core to a 6 core but that doesn't look like its ever going to happen now.
Can anyone recommend a decent mobo to go with the 1055T preferably with crossfire/sli support or has any one other suggestions for another AMD CPU/Mobo combo to go with my RAM?
Thanks in advance.
