Building a rig and having dif deciding on mobo. Will be used mostly for multi-player gamin. Die-hard SOF2 player now but would like to play Quake4, FEAR and Cod2. Have chosen AMD64 3,700+ and ATI x850xt cause both have great core with lots of oc potential, and good price. Had decided on A8N-E because not usin sli, but trin to do a lil 'future proofin' so also lookin at others. Seems bigest prob in reviews is heatsink fan and no firewire on the -E. Looked at the Premium and read reviews that overheats alot. Should i just decide now if im gonna use sli in future and go with A8N-E ? and does it performe ok with oc?
Usin corsair XMS 2GB (2x1gb)DDR400 for mem
WD 1600SD/160GB/7,200/8mb/serialATA150 for HD
Still need a case and psu that can keep in future upgrades.
Would also like to have the option of removin fans and adding block and H2O.
