OK.. most of you know that I have gone through more hardware this year than most of us go through socks... Thing is.. I want to go back to a Mid tower and I really like This one here And I am a fan of the new i7's.. but Im leaning to using the MSI 790FX-D70 AM3 board with 2/3 4890's or just dual 4870X2's?
Here's the deal.. I found someone to buy my current machine for $2500 out the door (just the case/hardware as is)
So for that much cheddar.. I could build one bad ass AM3 with a custom Water Loop or go i7 and just get what I need and add water later on.... hmmm decisions decisions
So I am here for one reason... FEEDBACK.. I need real comments that could sway me to or fro for either AM3 or i7... I love intel.. but im no fanboi...
here's a shot of the case in mind for the AM3 (dragon) build:
You guys know my love for red+black cases and this one is just plane cool as hell off the shelf.. But there are more cases to be had and better looking too. So... please hit me back with some constrictive criticism please
