Hi Rob,
I am thinking about building a computer I can use to do MS Kinect development with.
At this time I am thinking an Intel Core i5-2500K Processor should get the job done.

I have been reading the reviewes for the MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard and would prefer to go with a different manufacturer than MSI.
I saw that you have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard in your Super PC.
I'm wondering if that is compatible with the i5 that I mentioned above?

Also, I have been reading a lot of very positive reviews of the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (except the price increase) and am wondering what your thoughts are for a cheaper drive with similar performance. A very reliable 500GB 7200 RPM drive would work fine for me.

Thank you for your time and the great site/service you are providing.
-Chris

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forums.

The Gigabyte P55 motherboard is not compatible with the i5-2500k cpu.
