I've just decided to treat myself for Christmas and upgrade to an Intel 2500K and ASUS Z68 mother board
Exact spec-
Intel i5 2500K 3.3GHZ Retail CPU
Asus P8Z68-V LX Motherboard
I am upgrading from-
AMD Phenom 955
Asus AM3 Motherboard
Components I'm keeping-
OCZ StealthXtreme 600W PSU
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHZ CL9 1.5V
WD 500GB
Samsung F3 1TB
Samsung Blu-Ray drive
Fractal Design R3 Case
BeQuiet Dark Rock Advanced CPU cooler (as long as I can find the Intel mounting bracket)
I assume all will be compatible with my new components. Is there anything I need to know? I'm hoping to get a healthy overclock.
The parts should be arriving tomorrow, I will try and take photos as I go and make some sort of build log.
