Howdy all. Been itching for a new build as my current Q6600 and 680i are on their way out, and am super intrigued by the forthcoming BD and the recent release of 890FX AM3+ mobos starting to trickle out...
So, is it prudent to purchase the ASRock Deluxe5 and a 1090T/1100T and wait for a few revisions/steppings to allow BD to mature before buying into one?
I am going to try to base my build around a photo/video editing system, the specs sans CPU will be:
16gb DDR3 1600 [4x4gb]
128gb SSD for OS/apps
256gb C300 for a scratch/work drive
4x1tb HDDs for storage
GTX 260 216
Before I started perusing the forums, I was drunk with excitement at the prospect of getting an 8core BD and just using a x6 until the prices stabilized, and as they say, ignorance is bliss
Now, I'm curious if I should hold off for 9-series chipsets to rollout before making a purchase [while still probably going with a Thuban x6]. Your input is much appreciated!
