those of you looking, tried three mobos with the gx790 sb 750 combo- asus msi & biostar.
for what i do i need stability and i still favor biostar. the ta790gx 128m is a super stable and ive oc'd my 9850 to 3.1 stable boot and run on plain air with no problems anywhere.
but if budget was not an issue and i was building a clocker- id build a DFI. ive seen two that a friend of mine had and they are a cut above the rest. just straight awesome boards, and well constructed boards, fiber not resin boards. theres a big difference, 95% of virtually all mobos are built on resin boards and wont take as much heat or BS.
the 780 and sb 700 combination runs hot- real hot for no good reason, and the drive handling is not as good - cant speak for any raid, cant run raid. make sure if you are going to run the 790gx that you also run the sb750. cant remember who posted that besides me but ill back it up.
nice build shadowfold - ill be watching for more
