Everything looks great! :)

Just one question, do you plan on going SLi sometime? cause if not, the newer P43/45 or X38/48 would be a cheaper and better choice for the motherboard. ;)
 
Thats the thing, I dont know if I'll go SLI somtime, or just get a new card when I feel that I need a performance upgrade. What do you think I should do?
 
Well, I've always been a "pro-single" :P

I feel that the price doesn't justify the performance you get. So whenever you need a new card, I think it's better just to get a single better card.

So unless you go SLi with the top-notch cards (that'd make sense cause nothing would beat that) or you're just plain rich, I wouldn't think SLI/Crossfire is a good idea.

That's just my opinion though :)

Ok, so what board would you suggest that would be better for OCing and everything for around $155 (with or without rebates)?
 
Ok, thanks! :)
I'll look into those ;)

Anybody else have more input? I like to get all the suggestions/thoughts as I can :)
