hi,
I'm confused between:
asus rampage formula (x48) with 3870x2 (CF it later this year)
or
Asus Striker II Formula (780i) with GTS512mb (SLI it later this year) not going 3way coz i need the PCI slot, 780 and not 680 coz of the better 45nm support.
y x48? better CPU OC (planning on Q9450 2.66Ghz 333x8 @ 400-420x8 3.2-3.33Ghz at least)
y ATI? 3870x2 is a good Cost/Pref card.
y Nvidia VGA? FPU support in the "near future" & better VGA pref for gaming
i want a dual VGA coz of the 1920x1200 res i want to play.
(DDR2 1066 4G, Vista 64bit Ultimate
PSU- evermax 1000W
case- Kandalf LCS)
another option is to go with GTX/GTS512 with P35 board & buying a new VGA card next year that will get good Pref in 1920x1200
if i want to play with AA x2/x4 what is more importat VGA or CPU?
i'm also thinking about skulltrail, but don't know about Xeon OC. how much OC he can Handle....
thanks a lot guys!
