i7 motherboard
 
Which one's a good pick right now?
Would like to do some overclocking as well.

Also I probably need to upgrade my PSU from my current 550.
what would be sufficient for running 5-6 hard drives, CD/dvd drive and SLI of 2-GTX260 cards?



thanks.

Here's a good cheap PSU (in comparison to others) that's SLI-ready. $99 for 750W of goodness. MIR involved, though.

For the motherboard... do you have the CPU or RAM yet? NCIX is running some bundles on those. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...2&promoid=1190 and http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...2&promoid=1190. Both should be able to overclock fairly well.

dude u don't need to SLI GTX260's.

i have just ONE and i run everything and i mean EVERYTHING fine (i'm running a core i7 920 with 6gig ram though).

ah u know, P for plenty...
I have the original core D dual core so it's like not really having a dual core at all. I don't know what's the bottle neck anymore, but pretty sure it's the processor.

Which is a better board, the EVGA classified or the Asus rampage?

I like all the sata ports the evga has though.

how is a core 2 duo not really a dual core?

Rogue951 07-17-2009 09:08 PM

the first gen Pentium Core D sucked so much the single core P4 hyperthread processors were kicking it's ass.
at least that's what I've found.
Not Core 2 Duo, those are a huge improvement over the first gen core D
