the t3eh8 dfi is the best for that, once u go dfi and get a real bios with all proper names and values u wont go back to asus or gigabyte

and +1 for the 750hx i like my 750tx and this is better and looking cheap over in the UK

i really like evga products and if you ever have a problem their forums and customer support is awesome. nice 360 there but you might want to watercool it.:D

I sold it. i got a new elite. I'm makin the dvd drive external so i can fit a res inside. I plan to watercool this 1 though. I hav the waterblock for it from XSPC.

I might go for the EVGA X58 3X SLI just for da fact dat da DFI has a massive heatsink on da back nd i think it looks a bit weird.
My friend made me a smooth faceplate for my xbox to cover up the hole for the dvd drive;

Do u think a 750W power supply will b enough power?

a 750W continuous will work fine with that, i would bet that u could go 650W or 550W with a solid unit.

and why are u getting a 275 are u folding/crunching on the gpu if not the 4890 is faster and cheaper and the ati dx11 cards will have numbers out soon

People keep tellin me dat da driver for ati cards has alot of problems. i was considering da 4890. Sum guy offerd me a saphire 4890 for 200 and apparently there is only 27 of them in the UK. I'm not foldin or crunchin(watever dat is)Benchmarking?

So ;
i7 920 D0
EVGA sli
V Raptor 4 OS
6GB (3x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3, PC3-12800 (1600)
ATI 4890 Still need to decide on wat 1!
850W Corsair. Flexibilty for future upgrades
DVD, Fans+controller, Lights etc
