...what mobo and RAM? I'm getting that Intel bundle and I think the only thing I'm going to keep is the actual processor. Looking for any suggestions. I was looking at the offerings from ECS but some reviews said it wasn't such a hot overclocker,

any help is appreciated!
 
i got my bundle in today, and used the chip in my coworkers SLI board to compare my system with his, his framerates were TERRIBLE in fear, and bf2, i hope you are planning on a 3.4GHz+ OC or you will be hating that chip.

to answer your question get an ASUS board :)
 
Then I guess I'll just get myself a cheap-ass dual-DVI vidcard and call this the business PC... lol.
 
Alright, I should probably go over somethings. I honestly don't do much gaming. I would like to squeeze as much CPU power out of this thing as I can. I ordered an SI-120 though I'm undecided on what fan to throw on it.

I saw the Asus board that nears the $200 mark. What are my other OC board options? Its disappointing that Epox doesn't even make a board for this yet.

The only true motherboard option (in my opinion) is the Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe. If you can get your hands on one it will allow you to squeeze as much performance out of your Pentium D 820 as possible.

I've been playing with the LG-81 for the last couple weeks with a PD 830 and I can honestly say that I can't find a single problem with it...
 
Have you tried taking apart a forman grill and using the top as a heatsink? You could have a bbq while you encode. :cool:
