Just when I thought I had my system planned out! The Intel i7 cpu comes out which will be released in November.
So I am trying to plan what I will need for this upcoming release. I'm possibly planning to wait a few weeks before I buy but may not.
I already know I Need a x58 motherboard but not quite sure what company is the best + not sure what model cpu to get.
Was thinking Bloomsfield (XE) 3.2GHZ. Feedback is always appreciated 
I have a budget of 2900$

You want advise about which CPU and MB to buy, when they have not yet been released, reviewed, benchmarked, and the prices are mostly conjecture and rumor?

Will we already know a few companies are releasing x58 mobos, im simply asking what brand you guys would most likely choose if you had to pick one.
Considering some companies have a better reputation on quality then others. This doesn't mean im going to buy them once they come out. I just want to know what companies through the years have been reliable.
So I get a better idea on what one maybe I should choose. Like I said may be getting it right when it comes out..

Gigabyte used to have low quality boards (wanna say 2004 to 2005 high failure ratings lots of popped capacitors), Asus used to have high quality but low priced boards. Now you pay a big premium for Asus boards and they have a higher failure rating. Gigabyte's quality really improved the price is good to for the capabilites. You can't tell which company is gonna make a lemon and which is gonna make gold.
