My vote goes for the Alienware Optx 23".

And this article says that the Alienware is overall a slightly better monitor than the Acer. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/3D-Monitor-Acer-Alienware,review-1506.html

Yeah I would also like to know where you read that.

Any news on a gtx 480 version?

At least it drops the noise, I know for me that's a huge plus

The beta didn't include the highest playable settings (only up to utlra, not extreme) and also didn't have any AA options, so we don't know exactly how demanding the game will be.

Get the 285, the extra $100 is in no way justified.

Spacing won't be an issue for me since I'm using the Corsair H50 cooler, but I am curious about the LAN ports. What are the performance differences between the Intel version and the Realtek one?

It seems that the EVGA FTW3 motherboard seems to have an extra lan port (dual) and I think it has an extra on board USB port (2 versus 1). From a purely technical stand point it seems like the EVGA board has the upper hand, why do you guys thing the ASUS board is actually better. Everyone just...

I have a change to purchase the EVGA board for about $275 and the Asus board for about $300. Which would you choose and why.

If you look towards the end of that thread it appears that the vreg temps were a misread and that a bios update fixed it all.

What advantages does that motherboard have over the EVGA one, I've heard a lot of buzz around it, but never really looked into it seeing as it was out of my price range.

I'm looking to build an X58 gaming rig and have everything picked except the motherboard. I came across this motherboard and I'm just wondering if I'm making the right choice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188065&Tpk=ftw3
