Don't get the Pentium D they suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't you get a Core 2 processor, or better yet an i7 if you can afford. Everything else looks good except you should get more than 550W since GTX260 are pretty powerful and if you want to go SLI it will DEFINITLY need more than 550W.
Wooohooo! That looks sweet. Do you have all four sticks stable at 1066? I have the same mobo & have problems keeping it at 1066. Tech support said I need to use only 2 sticks if I want it stable at those frequencies. I have the latest bios update too.
not with 2 GTX 280's its not. those 280's require almost 40A each over the 12v rails, power hogs. What he's got is sufficient, anything less could cause some hardware issues.
8Gb's of RAM! are you insane.. who on this planet, who is also running a consumer pc (non-server) would need 8Gb's of RAM!? what the hell, if you have the money go nuts bro.. personally even if i had the money i wouldn't go 8Gb.. my 4Gb DDR3 2000Mhz OCZ RAM does me fine
I just sold off my corsair dominator set, didn't go down well with 2 gigabyte motherboards :(. Just bought some cheap kingston CL5 4GB kit ro replace it which happily is running @ 934mhz CL5 1.95v w/ E8400 @ 4.2Ghz.
I plan on getting the same PSU and a second GTX 280 next week. I got my GTX 280 here for $480 AUD, MSI brand but I got a shock when I installed it and found that is was actually a factory OC version that sold for $610 new @ the time I got it. Still deciding which SLI board to get.
I did have a EVGA 780i but the fan was so noisy and I sold it, but now I sorta do regret selling it, but with nehalem so close I might make do with a cheap second hand 680i for the time being.
Dude you did not understand mye point just think if this its like the fast time he it booting hes new strong gaming computer then he uses a smol screen like that one it dasent make sens ...i know mye English sucks im from norway..
How is this motherboard as far as gaming and overclocking. I'm considering purchasing a 750 or 780 however i really dont need the extra sli on the 780 and i dont know the purpose of the extra lan port on the 780. Could u please tell me which board you recommend.
For gaming I know 8GB can be overkill still it's not only a gaming pc I use it for rendering in graphics programs and VMWARE.
I was looking at both mobo's at one point but the reviews that I read stated that the 750 are very similar to the 780 (EVGA), so i ended up with the 750 FTW EVGA mobo
Cose I don't need 1 more SLi slot and 1 more gig LAN.
hahah 8.8.8 epic date to build an pc ;)

I wouldnt do it. everything sounds good except for the pentium D. I would recommend a core 2 duo or an athlon x2 for the processor..
