Shigan5[/url] I think you are right on the compared performance, but wouldn't going with DDR3 and the new nVidia 780i motherboard give me a little more performance and it is also upgradeable later in the future, I never really liked Gigabyte motherboards but thats for your suggestions.
This is true, you could and its your money. The 780i will last you a long time and is very good bang for your buck. The reason i stick with cheaper boards and everything is so later on if i decide to upgrade its easier to stash away something i spent $80 on then it is on something i spent $250 on. And im just waiting for the day when intel starts their new line of sockets and LGA775 becomes obsolete, granted it may not be a while but you never know.

The biggest problem I see witht he 780i is you will more than likely have to buy a new power supply as this board needs an 8pin CPU connecter, not the 4pin, which most mobos come standard with.

Either way it will make for a fantastic build, and you'll be able to multibox like a charm.
