Hi - new member 1st post
I am building an i7 full tower and have ordered everything except the motherboard and video card. (See specs below) I’d like to get opinions on the motherboards I have been researching.
This system will be used for gaming and potentially video editing. I’m shooting for a modest overclock to 3.2Ghz, but stability is my main objective.
So far, I’ve narrowed the motherboards down to the Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and the EVGA X58.
The video card is undecided, but it will likely be a single high-end card like a GTX295 or 4870x2.
The quality of the built-in audio is also a factor, as I didn’t really plan on buying a separate card.
I would be interested in any feedback from the group on the boards I named.
Thanks,
Aluman
System specs:
i7-920, CM ATCS 840, Corsair 850TX, WD Raptor 74Gb x2, WD 1Tb, TRUE 120 Extreme, Sony DRU-865S DVD-R/RW, Vista Ultimate 64, Motherboard, video card - undecided, RAM after decide MB
