Finally convinced myself to pull the trigger tonight! Hooray! First new build in over four years. I think this is going to be one hella upgrade from the old-n-busted stuff I'm using now.

666 - For what its worth, I went with the Asus P6T Deluxe. I couldn't find a single negative review, apart from not being able to do tri-SLI/CrossFire because of the board layout. The Intel board didn't get as high marks, and I couldn't really find much on the GigaByte board.

Final system will look like this:

CPU: Core i7 920
MB: Asus P6T Deluxe
RAM: 6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333
Video: EVGA GTX 260 (216 core version)
HD: 300 GB Velociraptor for C: drive, old 250GB WD Caviar as 2nd drive
PSU: ThermalTake 850W

I think that should keep me happy for a couple of years.

Same here. Came just as described from Tank Guys. Still haven't opened it because I have no other parts yet! Maybe I'll at least open it later tonight...I already feel like it's Christmas and can't wait to order the rest of the parts (waiting for more boards and memory kits to become more abundant on eBay and 30% Live.com Cash Back to come back). Hope everyone enjoys building their new i7 systems in the coming days.

Despite a lot of people passing on these chips, all I know is my 4-year old aging Pentium 4 540 needs to be retired and it's time for an upgrade.
