Well i was going to bash you for not going X58 but

just go to the last page lol.

Even with a 5% faster 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7-860 installed, the P55 system delivered an average 10% better CPU performance and 7% better memory bandwidth than the 2.66GHz Intel Core i7-920 on the X58 platform. With the performance trends leaning towards P55 over X58, it was the 33% improvement to power efficiency that really sealed the win.

Not sure if you can get 24G on this board or not but seems P55 is not an unwise choice over X58, at least based on that one review which seems comprehensive.


If you want no lag at all you get 24G of ram on at least a X58 system, put the whole wow folder in ram. That will eliminate texture lag, you might still get ping lag. I talk about ping lag in detail on the first post at my web site.


Just go all thermaletake for the PS, Box and CPU fan, you can min/max other stuff but at least they all worktogether just go to thier web site and get whats you need.

Make sure the memory you use is on the motherboard manufacturers approved vendor list or whatever its called (chips that they have tested in their system).
