I have had my current rig for a good long while now and now I'm considering upgrading with Christmas just around the corner. My current motherboard (ASUS P5Q-PRO) does not support DDR3 RAM nor does it support the new Core i7 CPUs. I use my computer for gaming thus the previously mentioned hardware shall sustain any new games for the next couple years.
I thought about this RAM:
Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK
This CPU:
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-970 Gulftown 3.2GHz 12MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80613I7970
But I'm stuck on the motherboard. Could anyone point me in the right direction for a good motherboard for the RAM and CPU? I have a 470GTX GPU already with 700W PSU.
