Decisions,decisions....
K, I'm planning for a new system, and am still unsure of what MB to get.
So far: Case: Coolermaster Centurian 5 PSU: Corsair 620HX CPU: Athlon64 X2 4800+ Brisbane RAM: Corsair XMS2 2GB (TWIN2x2048-6400) GPU: Sapphire X1950XT 256MB (provisional, may go with something cheaper until the DX10 cards are released) Now for the MB I'm looking at the Asrock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 (Radeon Xpress 1600) and the ABIT KN9S (nForce 550) or KN9 Ultra (nForce 570) Now I don't 'plan' on OCing, but since I will be water cooling, it wouldn't hurt to have a MB that is capable of moderate OCing Would some of you kind folks give your thoughts on the various MB's mentioned? I've read a lot of reviews on them, but it's hard to tell just how 'objective' the reviewers are at times. So I figure that getting feedback from users/enthusiests might be a better way to go, as it easier to seperate the considered opinions from the fanboi opinions. PLease note, any advice to go with an Intel CPU and/or Nvidia GPU will result in a thread in the FWZ questioning your Ancestry, Intelligence, and Sexual proclivities
