I am want to do a build soon but I cant seem to distinguish the difference between the z68 chipset and the x58 other than the x58 is for the i7 extremes and the z68 is for the normal i7's.
Do they offer different features, expansions slots and ram slots etc? sorry I am kinda new to intels side of the PC world. the AMD side seemed to have everything iriond out where if you got an AM3+ you got the best and got everything you wanted.
I understand they use different socket types, the z68 uses the 1155 and the x58 the 2011 but thats about it.
And also, should I wait for their successors the z77 and the x79? what new improvements are these making?
for the CPU i was wanting to go ivy bridges i7's or possibly sandy bridge E.
would love some training here lol thanks guys!
