Budget for mobo ? (remember to take a cpu cooler before you start OCing)

Using Sapphire HD 7950 3GB Vapor X or HD 7870 GPU.
Point is, will you be adding another gpu ?

Also need a Cabinet Say the CM HAF 912 ?
Check out the Corsair 400r also.

I dont think i'll be needing if I buy 7950GB,Should be able to give me 2-3 years atleast.
Budget may be upto 10-12k For the Mobo. But will spend little more If something really VFM is available.

Get gigabyte z77x-ud3h as mobo for 12k and corsair 400r as cabinet.

If I'm buying a i5 3550 with ASUS P8B75-V Mobo and Sapphire HD 7870 GPU, Will I be able to connect to a HDMI TV ? I believe MOBO doesnt have HDMI but GPU does have one.

B75-m and the B75-m le have hdmi connectors. Take the former.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 will be more suitable and VFM IMO. Its also very good for OCing.

Difference.
B75 lacks an hdmi connector.

Asus wont name them differently unless there is a difference. :razz:
