Iam in the process of a new build, Iam going with the I7 920 which I would like to over clock to 3.5-3.8.
cpu- I7 920
psu ultra X3 1000watt
gpu-Msi 275gtx lighting
case- antec 1200
mobo-?
mem-?
sound-ausentech prelude 7.1
os- win 7 pro 64 bit
Iam unsure which mobo, I don't sli so I don't need all those extra slots but I like features like clear cmos button, if Iam going for a over clock of 3.5-3.8 are the budget boards heat sinks going to be enough to stay stable, my case has great cooling 3 120s up front 1 120 on the side and 2 120 in back and the big one uptop my ambient temps are 68-70s. My budget for mobo is 200.00-250.00, I've been using a msi mobo for 2yrs with no problems, I do alot of gaming and photo stuff. your input would be greatly appreciated thanks
