Yup, I'm gonna see if I can't, at the very least, spring for the mobo before end of September. I feel like the rest won't change all that much over the next few months. Thanks again for the help!

Motherboards which support my CPU should still be abundant for next couple of months, right? I mean, if I go to Newegg right now, there are literally hundreds of choices.

Thanks!

Well, I am already in the purchasing phase and am picking up components as my pocketbook allows. As you already know, I've purchased the CPU and GPU. Do you have a mobo recommendation based on info from my original post? thanks!

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, web browsing, office work. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Looking to spend another $500 bucks. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if...

I was wondering if you guys could help me put together a list of boutique laptop builders. I am looking at building/configuring a 17" gaming laptop and would like to know what my options are before I pull the trigger. Thus far I have: ibuypower xoticpc maingear alienware falcon nw...

Thanks! This is the kind of info I am looking for. Any other recommended vendors?

I'm a total nit when it comes to graphics so a single 5870 just won't do especially if you realize that a 5870mobile is really nothing more than a desktop 5770. The ASUS, while it might be fine for other people, just doesn't do it for me. I feel like spending $1000 more and getting something...

It is time for me to buy a new computer but it needs to be a laptop. I currently live abroad and am returning home to the US in a year or so. I don't wanna ship a desktop when I return home so a laptop it is. This brings me to my first question: Are any of you familiar with boutique laptop...
