Hi !

I just fried my Striker II Ex MB bios :shrug:, flash it with the 0906 under DOS fine. Then nothing, MB won't post (none of the cpu/ram led turn on)

So instead of waiting 2 months for a RMA. Am going to change my rig !

AM getting a i7 920, but am not sure what MB to pick up :confused:

I wanted to the Asus RIIE but not in stock for the moment.

Am left with:

- P6T Deluxe V2
- EVGA 3x SLI
- GIGABYTE UD5

Should i wait for the RIIE to be in stock again (or find another supplier) ?

For the video card. Am thinking about a GTX285 or GTX295. But I mostly play WoW (which hardly need that much power :D) and doing some video editing. Am going to WC the card. (like all my card :p)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
