My laptop died and I need to build a new gaming rig.
I have never been an AMD fan and want to build an intel rig as I always have in the past.
But with the whole sandy bridge failure that puts my build on hold, as well as not having a computer.
Is it stupid to buy a P67 motherboard(knowing sataII ports are bad) from Amazon, an i5-2500k, and other components to build something to tie me over until March/April when I can send the P67 motherboard in for an exchange? Obviously knowing I should only use the (2) sataIII ports on the motherboard.
Someone help me justify doing this lol. I don't want to wait
