Hey Everyone,
Which board should I get/would you prefer?
- ASUS P8P67 Pro
-Gigabyte P67A-UD4
- Asrock P67 Extreme6
I'm trying (once again) to build a system. Could you guys critique it and see what needs improving, such as unnecessary or insufficient components.
EDIT: All prices are in Australian Dollars. (The currency is at parity but factor in shipping costs of the retailer)
Thanks

Intel Core i5 2500K -------------- $249.00
Asus P8P67-Pro ------------------- $219.00
WD 1TB HDD (WD1002FAEX) ----------- $96.00
Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM ----- $99.00

My thoughts are that this computer's performance is going to be limited by the hard drive.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm getting my prices from https://www.pcdiy.com.au/ad/Pricelist.pdf and some other shops.
Yea, I'm planning on overclocking.
lol those are speakers not sounds cards.
I guess I could incorporate those.
I still have a 250GTS which is why it's optional for me at the moment. I do consider playing games, but for the time being, it's used for *educational purposes*
Too expensive. What do you think of the Momentus XT? Would it be good for this system?
Lol I would want to go with Asus just because I know Asus better than AsRock
I'm definitely not getting separate SSD and hard drives. I know want to have the hassle of having to specify folders from the default.
I'm actually quite interested in this one. Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ. Should I get this one or the Momentus XT in your opinion.
(Disregard the difference in size of the HDD)
Thanks.
