Well for all, I'm web programmer and designer, so I work with lots of software, Windows 7, MS office, Adobe softwares and sometimes games.

I also don't know what to take for memory-RAM, will it be Mushkin, G.skill, OCZ or Corsair. But I def. want 1600 Mhz at least and must be 6GB.
Of course as everyone else latency to be as low as possible.

Thanks for helping me.

sli and max $400, but its not too much about the money, best would probably be money vs performance, although all higher cost Asus mbo's are only Xeon so up to $400 is I guess fair price yes.
Is sli really a must today, or it can be 1 card ? 24'' screen btw.

I also plan to buy graphic card Asus Radeon HD 5850... hopefully Asus will work perfectly

what resolution? and i think 5850 should be more than enough for 24" though

I'd go with one of those... but give this thread about 48hrs... and all those die hard intel guys will give you all there knowledgeable information

Will you be overclocking at all? 5850 will handle 24" no problem. 1 GPU is perfectly fine for all but Benchmarkers, especially a higher end card (like the 5850) at higher resolution.

Asus P6T Deluxe
