here are the parts i've picked out (already have a case, already bought a 750w CX750m corsair PSU)
i plan on doing SLI later on, so the motherboard has to support it.
here are my problems:
i have 50 extra bucks (my budget is about 650-660 for these parts)
i'm wondering if i should pick up a 8320 from AMD, or...
if i should try for a cheaper motherboard and get one of the new i5 <- i'm really undecided about this, this is my second build only, my first build was an athlon II x4 and i did have some problems with it burning out, and now i'm having a really good experience with my new i7 laptop, and even had a good experience with my old i3 laptop.
any ideas?
