    New Parts - Big

    Fair enough, I'll go with your exact initial recommendation. I lean away from multi-GPU for the same reasons as well. Thanks for the help, is there a way to +rep someone on this board?

    New Parts - Big

    Excellent feedback. I appreciate the help. How about two 5770s in Crossfire on the X58 for $100 less, I agree with the point on the XFX for the $30 extra but if I can go with two 5770s for much cheaper and equal or better performance then that may make more sense. Gonna go ahead and pull the...

    So no upgrade necessary for the HDD's based on the read performance shown? How about GPU - I saw he recommended the $409 version of the 5870 - which apparently has the Eyefinity technology. The biggest problem with that is that my main monitor is DVI, not sure if that poses a signficant problem...

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc a.) Gaming - All b.) Video & Photo editing c.) Most other things 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? under $1500 (for some of the parts) - Under $1000 leaves more room for additional monitors...

    Quad Crossfire on MSI 790FX

    I've seen pictures of this in action but have yet to hear any word of actual benchmarks and can't seem to find anything on the usual forums. Have any of you seen any benchmarks on performance scalability with quad crossfire? Thanks.

    Advice needed on new multi-purpose main rig

    Danny, I went with your earlier opinion and have just ordered a single 8800GT at this point along with the other hardware (can't wait for ATI reviews in the unlikely event that they're good, given that I've been without a main computer for 5 days). I'll update the thread when I've got all the...

    Advice needed on new multi-purpose main rig

    What do you all think of getting an X38 board given the recent news regarding the R670 ATI RV3870 Chipsets coming in significantly cheaper than the 8800GTs. This would allow me to do Crossfire 2x RV3870's for under $500. Thoughts?

    Advice needed on new multi-purpose main rig

    I was thinking specifically of the ability to run SLI video cards, for example the G92 or others at a later date. This is based on the assumption that nvidia will not license the SLI capability to intel for use on the x38, etc. boards. The p35 will limit me to one 16x PCI-e video card vs. 2...

    behind the curve..need some guidance...

    Go with the Intel 6750, as a long time AMD fan, having built nothing but AMD rigs since my last one, I can say without a doubt that the 6750 will be the best bang for your buck. I would match it up with a P35 board, there are literally tons to choose from and most all of them will suit your...

    Advice needed on new multi-purpose main rig

    Thanks for that incredibly helpful response. Now a quick follow up.. What's the impact to future upgrades in terms of 680i LT vs. P35. It would seem that the 680i will allow me to upgrade video cards fairly easily, but what about procs? Is it drop-in compatible with penryn or does that...

    Advice needed on new multi-purpose main rig

    Why go with 2x2GB over 4x1GB with lower cas latency? Is it because of the problems that you mentioned with gigabyte boards addressing all four slots? Do you think the 680i LT is stable enough to go for it over the P35 board? I would like to run games at or near top settings, although I...
