It looks good bud alot better than mine. However, i would recommend waiting until april to buy as the prices of all c2d are coming down. also the R600 should be rolling out about then which might help to lower video card prices as well.

As for the 630 and 680i, i believe their differences include sata and at what rate the pci express operate.

Good luck!

Yes, I am planning on the 22nd price drops. And with the motherboard I noticed Evga had 3 versions of the 680i, does anyone know the difference?

Well i did a bit of looking and i can't really tell you what the difference is. i would imagine its the same deal as the DS3 and the S3 by gigabyte. So the higher the price the higher quality the materials used.

The only thing I just noticed is that the 63 does not accept quad core, Im glad I read that, Any other boards, I was also looking at the asus pn32e-sli or even the DS3.

I can't get past a 480MHz FSB wall on my 680i as far as my 6300 is concerned. But if I unlink the ram I can increase it to 500MHz but I can't take the CPU 1MHz over 480 >.< But all in all 480MHz isn't too shabby.

Default Dimond Flower International Rules!

I like my DFI Infinity 975 it gets me dual 3.5 GHz on Air with cheap parts.

It was only $160 and gives me 10,500+ in 3D Mark 06.

I'd recommend a 320 GB Seagate Baracuda with Perpinduclur Recording.

EVGA has a really good Warranty and a step up program so if I want a GTX I can Step up and pay the differance.
