I've read up a fair bit on whats available and there just doesn't seem to be a consensus on a mid-range "king" of sorts...
So now i'm asking before I go nuts reading any more...
I will also be considering going Xfire so at the very least i would want the ability for 2x 16 pci-e and enough spacing between slots to do so. I'm doubtfull I will require more then 6GB of ram, unless proven otherwise.. I would be happy to get a 3.8Ghz+ OC but will be using Akasa AK-FN057 Apache fans to keep the noise down. Will play games, transcode video, photoshop and general surfing....
Build so far.
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ)
Thermalright IFX-14
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7
ATI 4890 - may wait out for 5870
Corsair HX 850W ATX
2x WD RE3 500GB - Raid 0
CM HAF 932
So what would you suggest for a mobo or anything else I am looking at for that matter..
Cheers
