Drdeath Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 You need IvyBridge to run in PCIE 3,0. Sandybridge runs in PCIE 2.0 in both Z68 Extreme and Z77 motherboards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 For the vast majority of us - and all pc gamers can get enough all round performance out of a Sandy Bridge setup. The quad core i7 2600 & i5 2500 are still the recommended processors. If you can afford, or actually need the extra memory support offered by SB-E, go for it but the wise money says rather go with the Z77 platform.
