Hi folks!
I'm trying to get optimal performance from my two 7950 gpus and I'm not sure what I should buy. Many have said that AsRock z77 extreme4 is good mobo but I'm not sure about it's dual /x8 speeds. And which processor would suit best for my rig? 3570k/ 2500k/2600k/3770k? And btw I'm going to overclock the processor over 4 Ghz.
My second option would be x79 based GA-X79-UD3 and 3820 processor which would cost me almost the same as the z77 based mobo and 3570k/2500k/2600k/3770k. Gigabytes motherboard supports full x16 speed but I've read that it isn't the best mobo you can get.
So which or what solution would you choose?
P.S you can see my full rig on my profile page
