yea, and ive checked other gamming rigs, and this price you just cant beat

even tigerdirect doesnt have a rig with that much for under $1000

however I plan to add an HP 22 inch LCD to it, so the cost is at least 1300

lol, but I bet this machine is insane in speed and will play guild wars better then ANY Pc ive ever owned

get a quad core or extreme core if you want insane speed.

or wait around half a year-1 year and buy hexa-core.

Mobo isn't bad. Not everyone goes SLI. That's a stupid conjecture to base the quality of a mobo on SLI capability.

No such thing as hexa-core, octacore or bust. Unless you're AMD, leave it to AMD to come up with something weird like a hexa-core.

AMD's quadcore Phenoms have one buggy core, so they disable it and sell it as a triplecore

I think he is referring to Dunnington, a six core CPU by Intel.

AMD's X3's are basically what Intel did with selling Core 2 Solos. It is very common to disable cache, cores, and lower the rated clock of a processor so they can be sold without a loss.

"Dunnington - the last CPU of the Penryn generation and the Intel's first multi-core (above two) die..." (Wikipedia).

My setup is NOT matx. That's a K9A2 Platinum V2, 8 GB DDR2 PC6400, 4 Radeon HD3850 in CrossfireX, powered by a PC Power & Cooling 750 Silencer Crossfire Edition. CPUs change as I'm developing waterblocks with this patform, but ATM it's an OCed 4600x2.

its not only that, i don't trust ASUS mobo's, gave me to lot of trouble (had 3 different ones in the past, all 3 had errors).

and my computer store gave me wrong information about the chipset, thought the chipset of the mobo was beyond ancient.

I lol'ed so hard. Let's hope it's not a total bust like Barcelona.

Intel can compete right? They have Sandy Bridge, 8 cores, 12 threads.
