Awesome

MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great mobo for price and perfect for gaming and anything that I can think of. It WILL do SLI!!!

Cons: It will do SLI, but you have to download the BIOS update from msi.com, so don't listen to the others, who say that it can't run SLI, because it can.

Overall Review: MSI x58 chipset mobo 12gb ocz gold DDR3 Nvidia 295gtx i7 920 Antec 900 1tb hard drive 7200rpm 850w Thermaltake Black widow Linksys dualband wifi pci (super fast) *** Crysis all maxed out with 8x AA and no overclocking necessary

Great price and power

OCZ Gold 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1333LV12GS
OCZ Gold 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1333LV12GS

Pros: Awesome for its price. Since the only way to get the i7's to read anything over 1066 is by overclocking, this is a great setup for those who don't want to overclock at all, as it is 1.65v and wont damage the cpu at its current clocking. Though your pc will only read this as 1066 if it is not overclocked, it is still good to know that you have some good room if you do decide to overclock to the 1333mhz

Cons: none so far

790FX

GIGABYTE GA-MA790FX-UD5P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-MA790FX-UD5P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This board is really cool, and does its purpose at a very good cost. The 790FX is a nice chip and is really something for amd to be proud of. VERY well built.

Cons: When I tried to overclock my phenom 9950 black edition, the max that I could run it to is 2.9ghz, and the board says that it great for overclocking the black editions. Whereas I do see others who have gotten the 9950's in th 3+ range I did recently sell this alongside all of my amd equipment as I was sick of amd's bad updates. Every time I tried to install the newest driver for my graphics, my computer would bluescreen. For some reason it would not allow me to overclock my graphics.
