What do you guys think of this board:

I'm jumping up to a Quad from my sig rig. My MSI K9 Neo board has been faithful to me and runs nice. Never broke 3ghz though

The K9N2 SLI looks like a nice setup....no?

Thoughts?

are you going to definitly run SLI? If so check out this board.

Thats the best SLI board.

If your not going to run SLI then get a 790gx/fx with SB750.

That looks good keith but your 8600gt will be holding you back so what about a gpu upgrade at the same time. The Evga 9600gt n862 is a nicely oc'd factory card and it plays my Farcry CoD at high settings.

THanks G-Byte. I know the 8600 can't cut it anymore. But I can get a cheap 2nd one, $30. So I'll probably end up sticking with that for now.

My christmas money will go towards the board and cpu

keith27

Thanks! But that's a bit out of my price range right now

Do you definitly need to go SLI? Because 790GX boards are super cheap. And they overclock very well.

Well Keith, for a quick fix sling two of them should get you a better experience but can they be sli'd? When I was researching my nvidia setup I read just a little bit about the 86's and not much good was said about them compare to deals/prices for nextgen gpus so I grabbed this 96gt to sli down the road.

But then I got a nice $1k for my 50th bday from my family so price was not much of a problem. The biggest cost was my lcd, then the mobo but I had the drives already and got a deal on the case. My total cost is sitting a bit above 1200 right now but will change when I get a better card. Before this build I went cheap, $300/400 for a 2nd gen below what was out there. Not this time and everything will last me at least a year. Some longer like the lcd, drives, psu.
