I'd get this 790X instead. You won't need the onboard video with that 4870.

And with the money saved on the mobo, I'd get these G.Skills as well. DDR2 1100 on only 1.8v. They'll last you a LONG time.

Yeh, first amd in awhile and I am dumbfounded by the 5 different 790 variants out there and not all of them have the SB750.

I didnt even know it had onboard video, I just noticed that it was used in a few Phenom II reviews and toms got a 940 up to 4 ghz on it.

I just looked at that mobo and reviews said you could change the vcore only in .1 increments and an important multipler was locked at 15, havent learned amd OC'ing terminology yet.
