my HD3870 outputs sound to my TV when I hook it up using an HDMI Cable and the provided DVI to HDMI Adapter.

TRUE120 ftw

hmm if nobody buys it from you I might as well pick it up. I just ordered another PC&P PSU for my E8500 build today, but if you still have it the friday (my next payday) after next I'll pick up the HD3870 from you. I'm sure it will eventually come in handy.

this is a pretty nice card. I have three of them lol

werd if you part it out and Candy doesn't pick up the CPU let me know.

I almost bought that triple core for a budget system, but ended up finding an E850/mobo/ram for cheap. I think the triple core is an excellent value and will not leave you disappointed.

thanks for sharing! it's a nice writeup.

this is what I did and it worked perfect for me on my E8500 and i7-920 rigs http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/

why not Windows 7 RC1?

my results from the P6T are in my sig. The Gigabyte EX58-UD3R seems to perform the same. I prefer the P6T since it has 3 PCI Express 2.0 slots.

Don't waste your money. Buy an i7-920 or perhaps an AM3 955

I would personally go with these guys versus the Corsairs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231247

you can get better ram for a cheaper price, though. If you have any questions about the ASUS P6T I currently have it in my i7 right now. (and I'm not scared to push its limits either)

I have used the P6T and the EX58-UD3R both on my rig, and either is fine with me. The UD5 and the Deluxe are higher end X69 boards, so I have no personal experience with those. If I had to guess I would say they are about the same in terms of quality, etc...
