Hi all,
story is that I have video cam that shoots 1080p 60fps, and I would like to watch the videos on computer.
I already have i5 2500k processor.
what combination will be better - getting good mobo (z68?) and overclocking,
or getting good graphic card?
How can I be sure the set will play 1080p 60 fps?
 
- What brand and model is the video camera?
- Do you know what kind of graphics card you have?
- Do you know the codec used for the video? AVC (also known as H.264), VC-1 etc.
 
Well since you have the K version you might as well get a good board for OCing. p67 or z68. AFAIK they are about the same but the z68 has a feature built in for SSDs. The 2500K will rip through data even at stock. So you do not need to OC if you do not want to.

All you really need for a GPU is a mid range card. In most cases that will even be a bit overkill.

+1. IMO the CPU is the biggest factor in 1080p playback. Back when my media center had a Pentium Dual-Core @ 2.5GHz and a Geforce 9300 it could still play 1080p. Any halfway decent GPU can play 1080p. ;)
 
i5 is a good processor... With the right Mobo you can overclock quite a bit... I myself am too nervy to OC... CPU MOBO are more important that the GPU (unless your using onboard)
 
Thanks guys for the replies so far.
Just emphasizing the fact it should play 1080p at 60 fps

Great, the video codec is AVC/H.264. I think your CPU will handle it just fine. If you have a GPU that supports hardware decoding (DXVA), then you can watch the clips with a player like MPC-HC and let the GPU do the decoding.
