Hardware specifications for Sandy Bridge Desktop

Sandy Bridge is Intel's latest line of CPU which is a great choice. For the motherboard, make sure you purchase one that uses Socket LGA 1155. This is socket configuration being used by the Sandy Bridge processors. If you will use a CPU with integrated GPU, you need to pick a Socket 1155 motherboard that has either a B65, H61, H67 or Z68 chipset on it.

If you will be using a discrete GPU, you can just get one with P67 on it. The HDD that you should use should at least be a SATA HDD. All these Chipsets i mentioned should be able to make use of all SSDs except for H61 which doesn't support SATA 3.0.

Brand and model of your HDD/SDD and discrete GPU shouldn't matter, just make sure you take what's been mentioned into consideration first.
