have i said yet ow much i app your helpfullness

You just did.

XFX nForce 790i Ultra Intel Mainboard

 

[BarbaricSoul]

you'd have to use a core2quad or core2duo cpu with the 790 board. I have a 750 board myself, which is basically a 780 board with 2-3 less SATA and USB connections. It's a great performing board. I have heard bad things about XFX's customer service though.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I'll add this about the 790 boards, they are the top of the line nvidia chipset motherboards for the core2 CPUs

 

[WOOKZ]

i personally want a 58 though iknow all about them reaks expence but i work hard do all for my family this is just 4 me so i wanna get it right 1st TIME

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I totally understand that, if you can't get yourself something specail every now and then for your hard work, what's the point of working. I wasn't really recommending a core2 build, I was just giving my opinion on them as you asked about the 790 board.

[WOOKZ]

Seems To Be More Indastructable Than X58 Gigabyte See What U Mean

 

[BarbaricSoul]

it's definently one of the best x58 boards available today.

 

[WOOKZ]

the review at cunucks almost SOUNDS LIKE profiteering are they that good)))))))))

 

[BarbaricSoul]

yes, like I said, the DFI board you listed is one of the best, if not THE best x58 boards available.

Here is a sample of what I would get hardware wise if I was you(the site I used doesn't carry DFI boards, so I choose a EVGA board instead)-

 

[BarbaricSoul]

well man, time for me to go to work, I'm sure someone else will jump in here to answer anymore question you might have.

 

[WOOKZ]

ave a grand day



cheers

 

[Kitarist]

why are those components like 2x the price lol

Is There A Difference Between Cheep Ram And Does It Wear Out Quicker

There are a ton of GREAT options for 6GB of Ram under the $200 mark. Don't waste your money here. Oh, and if you go water (and you should) do NOT go with a prebuilt system. Go with a custom setup from the start. Better temps and plently of flexibility to upgrade over time.

why are those components like 2x the price lol

uhh, those are Austrialian dollars

 

[WOOKZ]

coolmasters sniper case seems ok can ya fit much in it without causing AIR Flow probs

 

[BarbaricSoul]

with two 200 mm fans and a 120 mm fan, doubt you'll have any air flow issues with it

 

[WOOKZ]

ARMORSUIT PC-P60 Lian-Li can get this case for a good deal

 

[BarbaricSoul]

Lian Li are some of the best cases you can get, I have a v1200 II , absolutely love it.

 

[WOOKZ]

DFI LANParty UT X58-T3eH8 and this board for 480.00 aud

 

[WOOKZ]

these would go lovely together as the heat dissapator on the board would sit outside the case through the i/o plate looks by my demensions crunching this would be the case do u agree Mr B

 

[BarbaricSoul]

if I'm understanding you correctly, yes, the DFI lanparty motherboard would fit in the Lian Li case with plenty of room to spare.

Not exactly sure what your meaning by saying "the heat dissapator on the board would sit outside the case through the i/o plate". Everything should fit inside that case.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

BTW, if the look of the PC-P60 case is what you like about it, then I have to suggest a Antec 900 case. It looks almost the same as the Lian Li, it's a very popular case among gamers and computer junkies, and costs about half of what the Lian Li costs. This is the case I referring to-
