New Sandybridge Build

[Eyedumgai]

So I finally upgraded after about five years. I had wanted to get an i7 system before but with Sandybridge, it only made it easier.

CPU: Intel i7 2600K
Mobo: Asus P8P67 Deluxe
RAM: 8 GB Patriot Sector 5 PC1333
HDD: Samsung 470 Series 128 GB SSD
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840 Full Tower.

It's a beast and I'm at 7.8 in Windows Ratings Index (if that even matters).

This system should last me another 5-6 years.

"If you’re a current Sandy Bridge user and want to be sure you don’t have any problems until you can get replacement hardware, stick to using the 6Gbps ports on your board (which should be the first two ports)."

Might want to look for a replacement.

"Intel has already halted production of its 6-series chipsets and will begin shipping fixed versions of the chipset in late February. You can expect motherboard shortages through March at least. Intel hopes to be able to meet demand by April."

Intel is gonna lose billions over this.  This, on top of the past year of Intel giving away billions.

This kinda sucks for me since I occupy all 8 SATA ports on the motherboard. 

Here's to hoping Asus would do replacements.
