Mine is 4 core but 6 core ready. Just didn't have the extra cash at the |
| 23 |
time. Mine is a Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3 but you may can find similar with |
| 24 |
6Gbs/sec drives for a bit more, especially on sale. The rest seems to |
| 25 |
be about the same. I bought all the electronics at newegg except the |
| 26 |
power supply which I got at Tiger Direct. |

One thing, buy two 4Gb sticks of ram off the bat. They are much faster |
| 29 |
in pairs and no need getting smaller ones when you have to remove them |
| 30 |
to upgrade. I'm up to 8Gbs with another 8Gbs on the way, hopefully DHL |
| 31 |
won't loose these. |

Am I happy with my set up, darn skippy. Oh, sign up for newegg's |
| 34 |
newsletter and they have great sales at times. I have had zero luck |
| 35 |
with the rebates tho. Supposed to be here in 10 weeks and I sent them |
| 36 |
both off before Christmas. They better hurry. ;-) |

I did look at MSI but decided against it. It seems that Gigabyte has |
| 39 |
the best rated mobos at this time. That may change but you know. We |
| 40 |
live in the moment not the future. |

I can get you a full list if you need it. Oh, total cost for a nice rig |
| 43 |
with new monitor and all, about $1,000 or so. It is built like a tank tho. |
