Well Im going to make the leap. I have $650 to spend and I wanna I7. i know I should wait but well, you know me. Obviously Im getting the
Intel Core i7 920 $275
And the ram that fits the budget is
CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB $104
Now I know its only 4GB and I may play with the numbers a bit to get these in steadG.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) for $135
Here's the thing I dont know about the motherboards too much. So price is my biggest deal and i'd like to know I can push the ram to 2000 if need be as the above are 1600's. Should this even be a concern or now?
I think Im going with this GB board
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R $199
But I am not sure if I should spend the extra green on this DFI one
DFI LANPARTY JR X58-T3H6 $229
or even maybe this one
MSI X58 Pro LGA $199
I dont think Ive ever owned a MSI board before, but again it fits the budget. Any specs you think are better by all means post em. Im not up on the latest i7 literature at all so Im a bit out of the loop since they hit the streets. Thanks guys so much
