New motherboard/Processor info needed

[rjetster1]

Hi Everyone,

 

Building a system from scratch… looking to purchase a new motherboard/Intel processor for DCS/Oculus. Budget around a grand for motherboard/chip. What are most of you leaning towards for high end systems?

this is the post i link for my buddies who ask about new builds, this fella has done great for the community with the time he took to do this. My system is in my sig and really want to build a newer gen system but i will use that money to get my private flight license done here in germany. Priorities as the wife says lol

Although this isn't advice on specific hardware, check out pcpartpicker.com if you haven't already. They have lots of example builds for low, mid, and high end systems. It also allows you to "build" our own on paper and will point out any compatibility errors with any hardware you've selected. It will also point you to which dealer has the lowest prices on that item at the time.

Thanks for the advice gents! I was trying to find out what the consensus is on anyone getting ready to purchase or has just purchased a new high end motherboard! There has got to be a top 5 or so board and processor combo that the majority here have been eyeing... or maybe not.
