No worries, just realized I had $100 budget creep between thread title and list ... also thinking about upping the F3s to 1TB - it's only $30 more

+20$ for a cheap SATA DVD drive. The integrated should work fine with your needs. Also that board can do 8X/8X Crossfire.

It's only 10$ more actually yes it's worth it.

Lost the OS on that one - not enough room in the budget creep for that. Definitely have mixed feelings on the integrated graphics.

What about this mobo still cheaper than the Asus one but as more features:

I guess you could cut back to 500Gb to save 10$.
Cut to a X2 cut to 2Gb

Sorry the last one had 8Gb of RAM.

Went crazy this morning and blew the budget - did end up with onboard video (ASUS board) for the moment. Thanks for the ideas.
