This for an i7 setup or i5?

You do realize if you get a p55 setup both your cards will run at 8x/8x. Not like effects performance or anything but still. Also available here.:

Its going to be an i5 setup:

And I'm going through Amazon because I have a Prime membership so free shipping. Thanks for bringing up the 8x thing, I shouldn't notice any performance issues tho, right?

x2, and you do not need a premium membership at newegg to get the free shipping on that one

EDIT: And if you're looking for RAM, save $30 with this combo.

So wait, have your bought any parts yet? Because I just saw that Amazon has a great deal on the i7 750+GA-P55A-UD3+4GB Corsair RAM

Total List Price: $566.97
Price For All Three: $454.97

 

[wumpus]

you guys, the P55 UD3 DOES NOT have 8x/8x SLI OR CF so it is out. this guy is looking for SLI/CF mobos.

i personally recommend the Gigabyte P55-UD4P, but its a little expensive at around $170.

that biostar you linked to will give you some amazing OC results btw

Ok, so that board should give me the SLi and core i5/i7 chipset I want, right?

 

[MeatloafOverdose]

Correct!

 

[trugamer510]

Alright, thanks everyone! This should save me some money, I'm ordering tonight! I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

[zalophus]

Don't know if it matters, but you do realize that the EVGA is a Micro Board?

 

[trugamer510]

Yeah, I saw that, is that gonna give me any problems?

 

[trugamer510]

I found this one, its got 2 x16 PCI-E slots:

[andynolife]

if you can find one, you can try the P55A-UD4 (no P), considering SATA3/USB3 may take sometimes to become popular.

I personally feel it's on the weak end with the EVGA P55 V's capacitors and power phase.
