Well it's time to build a new rig.
CPU; opteron 165 will be oc'd
Mobo: MSI Neo4 platinum or ?
GPU: 7900gt, 7900gtx, X1800xt, X1900xt or xtx.

I don't think I will ever use an SLI or Crossfire configuration.
I don't like Asus, I do like Abit, MSI and DFI
Will be running OCZ Gold 2 x 512 for now
Have a new Antec Neopower NeoHE 550 psu

Any advice on MObo and GPU ?????

The DFI LP nF4 Ultra-D is pretty nice for about $120, since your going to be ocing. For the GPU dont get the X1900XTX, its not worth the price increase. The other options look nice, it just depends on your price bracket.

If I were you, I would get an X2 3800+ instead, newer opterons steppings arent overclocking to the same speeds as older ones, and newer X2s are OCing almost as well as optys. Plus its cheaper and has a 10X multi, although it shouldnt matter if your on a board like the Ultra-D.
