Hello,
I'm about to build a Win7 work system to run Visual Studio 2010. The key requirements are that it's fast, and costs under £500. Graphics card not necessary.
I was looking at the i5 760 QuadCore:

And the Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 Express 1156:

The motherboard looks ideal in terms of its price, and has onboard graphics.. but is it ok with that processor? They're both socket 1156, but I notice it's listed under the "Clarkdale" series rather than the "Lynnfield" series (which the CPU is). I'll be honest, I don't really understand the difference, and need to know if they will work together.
Thanks.

I currently run VS 2005 and SQL Server 2K8 on top of Window 2008 Web Server edition on essentially a 2.5GHz Phenom II Quad core and it runs beautifully, so any Phenom II X4 or X6 should be good for you (I suggested the 1055T because it's about the same price as the i5 760
).
