Ram? It looks like OCZ Platinum is the best performance value for the money...
Going for a Mega for the heatsink.
Lastly, I might have enough for a Ati 5850 depending on what day it actually retails.. I don't want to wait more than a few days into October though. Any ideas if it's going to break $300? I figured it would even out around $270-280.
Why the hell is the upgrade for Windows 7 ultimate so damn much? With a fresh unopened copy of OEM version Vista Ultimate 64bit.. i'm kind of bleh about this because I really enjoyed Windows 7. I can't return the copy because I ordered it from Newegg like.. 6 months ago. Any help could be wonderful since I actually want to get this ordered by like pretty much next week.
Oh, I just seen http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6832116677 Is that a upgrade to Windows 7 home premium for free? I'm confused. I might be able to sell my vista Ultimate 64bit OEM and get around that much for it. Not sure though, thoughts?
My vote is for the ASUS board over the EVGA board. I agree the OCZ Platinum is a very good RAM and is highly recommended.
On the Win 7 upgrade, I'm not sure what to recommend to you on that. I'm not a fan of an upgrade disk over a full version OEM. You have to install two windows disk for one install. I would recommend to hold on to your Vista disk and purchase a full OEM version of Win7 once released.
