Putting some junk together... ;)

[BitMaster]

Hey fellow Pilots,

 

I am taking a whole server rack down and many of the parts I can have for free :)))

 

 

i7 2600k

Memory as much as I can put in ( so maybe only 12 GB will be doable for now )

Asus P8P67 Mainboard

Corsair 750W PSU

Adaptec Raid Controllers 4-Port, 16 Port and 20 Port, YAYAYA !!! HW-Raid

4 x 2TB Enterprise Sorage drives

2 x 500GB " " drives

sadly no SSD :(

a cheap Video card to get started installing Windows

 

 

All I need to add is maybe some more RAM ( need 16 min. ) and a decent 970 or 980 GTX later this years and a 850 Pro SSD 256GB.

 

Yippie Yippie Yippie !!!

 

We get a new child and money is directed towards that so kitchen command will only allow this rig to be completed but no new one to be bought....well, I can live with that.

 

I wanna get a Corsair WC, 100i or so, to OC that 2600k to like 4GHz ;))))

Will 970/980 work/boot in a P67 chipset with PCIe 2.0 ????

 

If not, I may end up buying a more recent board for the 2600k that sports PCIe 3.0, would not be all that bad but if it works it saves some money for now.

 

Any info on that ?

should boot, BUT, you need intel 3xxx series cpu to have proper PCIe 3.0 and different MB.

i got 2600k too and "PCIe 3.0 ready" MB, 780Ti is running in PCIe 2.0 mode. from what i've heard, the difference in perfomance between PCIe 2 and 3 in gaming is marginal.

don't worry you have a good deal there.
