APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next month BUDGET RANGE: 700-1000 the cheaper though the better
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Music, Internet, Photoshop, and lastly FACEBOOK!)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, webcam, Video Cards, Case, )
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, I've had great experiences with them. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Trustworthy and reliable, No huge brand loyalties on this one other than intel
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe I would like to toy with OC'n Have always been afraid of it. SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes Have it on my current build and Love it
MONITOR RESOLUTION: (1920x1080, 1920x1200)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: biggest concern here is cost vs performance. I am not afraid to spend the money but I want to make sure I am reaping the benefit's in performance. Mostly used for gaming I.e. FPS's RPG, MMORPG
So first off I have a decent machine running right now and I want to tear some parts out of it and reuse them, Parts I will be most likely reusing are the velociraptor 300 gig harddrive and the two 8800gtx's that I have. I also have a antec 900 case new in box to use for this build. Now I have been doing some homework on the p55 versus the x58 and I'm having some problems reading the benchmarks. Bottom Line comes down to is it worth the money for the performance gain I get out of going to the x58? The two mobo's I am comparing right now are
