Since I can't find performance improvement on 3770k, I will go with 2600k on Z77 and 6870 which is PCIe 2.0, so I don't need the 3rd version suported by Ivy. I loose someting else ? USB 3 integrated on chipset is independent of the inserted CPU type, right ?

Thank you

Hi, I saw that you need to buy 4 x 4GB RAM sticks (if you need 16GB) to install Snow Leopard since you have to install only with max 4GB RAM inserted in mainboard at the installing runtime. The question is: this is also valid for Lion install or I can buy 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance ? Thank you

Hi, I plan a system for OSX and I'm curios if it's a driver difference between 6870 1GB and 6870 2GB and if the 2GB version would work good. Anyone who have the 6870 2Gb version ?
