Here's what I have at the moment. I may up to a better motherboard and probably switch the ram.
Should I get the AS5 instead of the MX-2 thermal?
Alternative mobo's are the
Asus Rampage formula http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284
and a gigabyte x48 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128336
Both of these offer CF upgrades later.
Alternative case are the
NZXT Tempest http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146047
or other recommendations with a side panel and LED with good cooling.
Ram is open for suggestions.
Also dual core or Quad? E8400/8500 to 3.6-3.8ghz vs Q6600 OC'd to 2.8-3.0.
I know the quad will lose in gaming, but will it really be that much of a difference? Should I wait to go quad later down the road?
Don't feel limited to the 1100 limit, just would like to not go too far above it...
Will also be checking slickdeals for things coming up for a couple weeks until I order.
