I'll be picking up an i7 tomorrow, but do not have a good idea of the MB I want to pair with it. I'm just looking for suggestions from current i7 owners on good MB's that support the following:
GPU: 2 x GTX460 1 GB GPU's (on way)
RAM: 6 GB of RAM to start, 12 when done ( need to research after MB decision)
CPU: I7 950
CPU HEATSINK: Haven't decided on air or water yet
CASE: Using the HAF932 and putting old build into a new HTPC case
HDD: 1 60 GB SSD and 2 750GB 7200.12 in RAID 0 ( already have)
All of the little things like the DVD drive and wireless stuff are all taken care of.
USB 3.0 and SATA 6 GB preferred
Yes, I will do some mild OC'ing on it
Need ATX sised MB
integrated gpu and sound not important at all
Rest of the system to go with it:
PSU: Coolermaster 1000W PSU (hsve already)GPU: 2 x GTX460 1 GB GPU's (on way)
RAM: 6 GB of RAM to start, 12 when done ( need to research after MB decision)
CPU: I7 950
CPU HEATSINK: Haven't decided on air or water yet

HDD: 1 60 GB SSD and 2 750GB 7200.12 in RAID 0 ( already have)
