I had a question:

I was reading another topic, a person suggested to someone that they should go with nForce 590, the only difference I see between 570 and 590 is I/O Ports which I don't need, maybe I'm wrong?


Let me know if I should change something..

Thanks

Pretty what exactly what I would of built. Upgrade to a 65nm CPU in December and a DX10 card when they are available. Good job picking parts

Looks fine, but there is no moniter. Your friend proabaly already has one but if not, go with this one...

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16824163115

It may not have 2ms response time, but this is a great price for a computer used for any applications. The reviews say they've had no ghosting, but with 4ms response time you may get some...but it's a sacrifice worth making.

Wouldn't it better to move a nForce 500 motherboard? Or would the cost be too much?[/img]

Thanks for all the replys ppl, I posted links for those who wants to see the stuff, though I'm not purchasing them from newegg.com, zipzoomfly.com is the site because they offer free shipping.


Thanks for the monitor link, but I told my friend to go with this monitor instead since he was looking for 19" Widescreen,

Hanns-G 19"Widscreen 5ms, REALLY NICE monitor I just got it recently, its amazing. But I appreciate you providing me with the link because if he doesn't have enough money he might go with that one, its a nice price and 4ms.


Ibrahim, yeah I'm wondering that too, but I don't know which one on my build I went with MSI K9n, not really impressed with it..

Well, ASUS makes a good 570 SLi board: ASUS M2N-SLi...EPoX also has a good 570 SLi motherboard: EPoX EP-MF571SLI...

ZipZoomFly: ASUS M2N-SLi Deluxe
ZipZoomFly: EPoX EP-MF570SLI

Just a few suggestions.
