Hardware upgrade


Recommended Posts

Can anyone advise me on a high performance motherboard that will work with Nvidia SLI and has 775 intel CPU slot for a CORE 2 Duo procesor AND can handle ddr2 800 memory?

Win 10 PRO 64bit

ASUS Maximus VIII Hero MB

Intel Core i7 6700K 4GHZ

EVGA GTX 980ti

32GB G.Skil Ripjaws DDR3 1866@1600mhz

Sound Blaster Recon 3D

Saitek X55 Rhino Stick

I believe the ASUS Rampage Formula supports SLI and it is also a pretty highly regarded board.

 

The ASUS Striker II Extreme is not really one of the best LGA 775 mobos on the market. It also utilizes DDR3 RAM, IIRC.

On Newegg, 44 out of 97 ratings for the ASUS Striker II Extreme rate it at 3 out of 5 stars or lower, 30 of those being 2 stars and lower. It is also quite expensive (about $40 or so more than an ASUS Rampage Formula). The Striker II Extreme is currently $329.99 at Newegg. The 790i chipset is, IMO, overpriced.
