I've just become the owner of an i7-3770K and Intel 510 250GB SSD, but I'm currently rolling an all-AMD platform from 4+ years ago so I need a new motherboard and some new RAM (mine are DDR2). Turns out, there's a staggering amount of motherboards available out there so I'd like to see what people recommend, especially based on build experience. For the RAM, either 16GB or 32GB if you've got kit recommendations. Hardware I need to move over:
1x SATA DVD drive
3x SATA hard drives
1x PATA hard drive
2x Radeon 6950 2GB
1x Xonar DX
I can move the contents of the PATA hard drive into one of my SATA ones and then donate it so PATA compatibility isn't strictly required. I would prefer having more than 6 SATA ports since I lose one to the DVD drive, but I also don't know how well SATA ports supported by 3rd party chipsets work.
Have at it.
