short cash? don't even bother with a 1366 unless you can get a 980x fallen from the back of a truck

1156 will give you allot of options with cheaper cpus that clock like nuts.

DANG... Wish I had the money. Dropping $200 on a Gemini pot this week though.

Only way I could afford a 980X is if I am the one that made it "fall off the truck" lol!!!

my golden 920, 760 and kick ass ram all sold in one shot. I probably wouldn't take a 930 if it was $1 lol, but I appreciate the offer brother

for global

the 920 is a hardware whore though and a decent 3D chip ....

I agree though, I am also looking at 1156 if I can't muster a win in the foru2doln2 contest

cough... new drive and memory inbound ..... cough

I have all other parts for my setup. I don't require to compete at top level. I like overclocking, I got a nice W3520 laying here on my desk.

There will be several of opportunity of getting better cpu's later on.

So I'm thinking about picking up the RE3, since its ALOT cheaper than the 4way.


I got this parts for my new setup:
W3520, think the former owner did 4.8ghz vantage on air, so it should be decent.
AX850
Asus GTX 295 dual pcb
Dom GTs 2Ghz CL8

I dont have a decent comp, this shit will give me A lot of fun dudes

I have had terrible luck so far with the ASUS boards bios. Guess I am so familiar with the EVGA's I have a mind block lol. That link that MD put up for the Classified is a great deal...why are you considering the four-way?
If you can wait just a bit I will let you know how the Evga X58 SLI micro performs at $199... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188051

Shoot Kris, I just sold my classy 4 way super cheap.

I like the R3E better. ROG connect sure beats evbot clocking.
