ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Ive got an ATI 5850 (xmas gift) and dual terrabyte drives (non raid) with a high end 1100 watt power supply (used to run 3x 8800gtx's). Looking to go with socket 1366 mobo. I have used gigabyte in the past and been happy, but the brand doesnt really matter. The intel I7 920 is the chip ill be using. Im upgrading from an e6600. Using win 7 64. WOuld like 6 gb of ram (3x 2gb). Im unsure of where the sweet spot is for price/performance with ram is. Ill be doing some mild oc of the cpu very soon and will need a good aftermarket fan. Im open to any suggestions.
