I am wanting to build a completely new system, everything even monitor will be upgraded.
for CPU i have decided on q9450 so i need a 775 board. The monitor(primary) will be a 22" LCD 2-5ms responce, i have been looking at a hannis G but this is also open to suggestions as long as the resolution is 1680x1050 and AA and AF to be maxed in game if possible. secondary display will be a 42" 1080p Panasonic Plasma. Case will be an Antec 1200. 5.1 sound will be implemented. Heaviest PC task will be gaming. budget is around 1800 USD. i will not be waiting for x58, but future proof as much as you think i would need to at the res's i have stated. monitor will be purchased later, most likely as a gift for xmas(but less than 300 USD) i will be getting a nostromo n52te, g3 logictech mouse, generic keyboard all already accounted for and not included in budget money.
bottom line:
1. NO Stuttering
2. Image Quality
3. High FPS
4. Upgradeability
