i was going to get a P5E3 but the guy who i was buying it off screwed me.. thats the second time i have been screwed while buying a mobo for this build.
i am at half way point..
at the moment i have a gigabyte G31M-ES2L installed with 2GB DDR2 as i sold My XMS2.. i have XMS3 her waiting.. first i was gonna get a 790i.. then the guy screwed me.... got my money back... my 9600gt died.. so i spent it on a ultra. found a P5E3 (want DDR3 ram) bid and got screwed..
found an ASUS Rampage Extreme Today on Ebay and was tempted but he wanted $320 BIN (buy it now).. so i was like not happening.
i see another 790i on ebay $129.99 BIN and am tempted to buy it BUT im wondering before i do if theres any other better boards.
i am really at half built... my PSU is sitting on the shelf in my raven.. (4 pin power wont reach from where it screws in).. cable management is non existent. fan controller is in a hdd bay as there are no floppy size bays in the front. got a crappy mobo i bought so i could run the pc. and i need a new psu to run even a gtx260... i will get a 1500W silverstone as i was offered 3x GTX280 for $1000 shipped (one being a engineering sample so its a collectable... the other 2 are evga models)
