So how would this setup be just mainboard and processor and graphics card? Asus P8P67 Delux lga1155 Dual-Channel DDR3 SLI/CrossfireX, Intel SandyBridge LGA1155 i7-2600K Quad Core, HT, 3.4GHz, Turbo OC CPU, Nvidia GTX570 1.5G graphics card.

Ok here we go:

The Deluxe has a Marvel 9128 pcie controller, while the Evo has a 9120 with Hyperduo - whatever that is.

The LAN controller is also enhanced.

Audio codec is better.

IEEE is better.

USB port configuration different. 4 mid as opposed to 6. And 8 at back instead of 6. Also different connector support for additional ports. More on EVO.

The Deluxe has a combo PS/2 keyboard & mouse port instead of two separate.

2 power fan connectors on Deluxe instead of 1.

4 SATA-6 cables as opposed to 2 included with EVO.

Deluxe has the front panel USB box, but EVO has a bracket for the rear of the case.

Dimensions are the same.
 
Lounger: I wasn't comparing the Evo with the Deluxe model, but thanks for it anyway. I wanted to compare the Pro with the Deluxe model.

So far it seems like quite big waste to go for the Deluxe model, unless you're a networking guy like me that requires 2x LAN ports :D
 
It is a bit quirky. Try using the global site; select item and then use the top right button to see the selection.

That's odd. Mine was missing the PRO model so I started again and selected 'motherboards' then started from Home - motherboards - socket 1155 - Intel P67...it came up.
 
Friend of mine told me to rather go for the Intel Core2Quad Q9650 3 GHz LGA775 12 MB Cache CPU than the new Sandy Bridge Intel SandyBridge LGA1155 i7-2600K Quad Core, HT, 3.4GHz, Turbo OC CPU so which 1 is better for gaming
 
Thats old tech mate. Rather go for the newer stuff. Will last longer and can only get better as new games come out.
775 socket served its purpose for a long time, but why take a step back when trying to go forward? Besides think cost of a new 9650 if you can find one is probably around the same price as a 2500k or even the 2600k, though I will be honest and say I have not looked at 775 prices in awhile :/

Had a look at some benchmarks the sandy bridge 2600K comes in 3rd at 10,377 where the Core2Quad come in at a dismal 4606
 
Was reading up a little today as well and seems there are some SLi issues with Sandy Bridge in that it does not work as well as the 1366 socket. So if you planning to SLi rather than xfire in future might be something to take into consideration. But otherwise dont see much reason in going for anything other than Sandy Bridge besides the fact that it should cause the older techs price to drop a bit. :P
