You got me thinking about it as I havent used AMD for gaming in like forever myself. Maybe take the Thuban and throw it in that new CM Scout case I just received? If I manage to win that GSkill memory over at Bench Tec... http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=256&c1=1&c2=3 ...maybe it would be a worthy addition.

I haven't used an AMD since my 590 SLI and before that my XP 2500 Barton. We'll see. I just want a 6 core chip an Intel just wasn't feasible at the moment being not to mention I am burned out on Intel beyond all believe. If the Asus doesn't pan out I will jump on the Biostar as the previous Biostars I have used treated me right.

GPU....I'd rethink the 5830 and just go for the 5850 if you can find them.

Yeah I was looking at the 5850 but they are a good $120 more which adds up to $240 more for the pair.

I will just be doing the occasional gaming. Going to have to toss the idea around in my head for awhile. Just hate to drop $600 something just for them to drop a new card on me in October or so. Won't be doing any PC gaming until the end of the year anyways as there isn't anything out I want to play now. Prolly just rock the old school 2400 or was it 2600Xt and see what comes out in a few months or pick up another cheap GTX460.

6000 aint due out till November lol

And it wont be midrange cards.

TBH I would have gone with one 5850 over 2 5830... dunno where this 2 GPU philosophy came from but they are not equal to twice what one card can do.. IMHO worthless...

(Except for global points )

Especially if you consider how beneficial the 5850 is on higher resolutions or with altered affects. (personally I dont need AA at higher res... but some like it I get it... 5850 better than 5830 on both counts)
