AMD to E6600 Intel Upgrade

After reading a bunch I decided on one of these 2 systems. I already hard the h/d`s 2 doing raid. And have P/S to handle the job. I will not overclock it major but will try to push a little, All on air by the way and loooking for a very stable system.

Also I run the res at 1920 at 1200 and like everything maxxed, And have a Tuniq Tower 120 on the way

Your systems seem pretty strong, but if you really want to go all out try the ASUS Striker Extreme, it's supposed to be a great board.

i've had hesitations about lite-on's since i purchased one a few years back. it wasn't a big deal, but every once in a while it would burn a cd that didn't have tracks on it, that sounded really scratchy, or just simply would stop playing midway through a song. i don't know what the issue was, but i could always just reburn the cd and it was typically fine. guess the biggest disappointment was that i burned a cd for a friend as a gift to him and then it ended up not playing and i hadn't checked it. i was quite embarrased. in any case, having to check your cd's after every single burn gets quite annoying.

my NEC dvd burner has performed flawlessly 100% of the time for the last 2 years though. that would be my recommend.

again, this is probably not a major point of contention in your build, but i figured i'd throw in my $0.02.

There is no point in the 680i unless you want SLi.

This is another 2 cent reply, but from what I've seen I really like the Abit board, but I personally would be tempted to wait what to see what ATI ends up offering by way of a DX10 card before investing in that board, simply because we know the Abit will do Crossfire, we don't know that it will ever do SLI... then again Crossfire/SLI may not even be a concern of yours.

Well on my amd system I have been using 2 7800gts Sli`d. I want out, No more Sli/Amd. So since I have not had an intel system since the 486 days. I have been trying to play catch up on whats the current best board/chipset to purchase. So all you intell folks help me make my shooping list even better
