thats the setup im thiking about upgrading to. the case is big good space alot of cooling, and thats how i like it xD. is it worth going for a core i7 motherboard and a core i7 cpu? for gaming only, and how are the cheap Core i7 motherboards? is it woth going for a cheap core i7 motherboard insted of that? and this mobo i choosen Supports Crossfire in 8x8 mode. how much does it increse the performence to have 16x16 then 8x8 crossfire?

i5 is a win win situation or how bout them phenom II x2 x4 those are pretty sweet

your in the same boat as me and im getitng a p55 board w/ a i5
heres wat i recommend:
EVGA P55 Standard Board
4GB DDR3 Dual channel ram (its pretty cheap now)
core i5 2.6 (easily clocked to 3.5 on air w/ this board)
Any Samsung monitor is GREAT!
ANY CASE (make this your last priority, who sees your computer XD)

Im thinking about getting a Core i5 750, not sure what motherboard i should go for. looking at these three motherboards , ASRock P55 EXTREME, ASUS P7P55D PRO, MSI P55-GD65..

Okay then..

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Not really sure think its going to be in Januar maybe even Feb

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming. xD

i allso want to ask if i upgrade to windows 7 if i shall go with a 64bit version or the 32bit. i will only use 4GB ram ddr3

The mobo i posted will do xfire or sli @ 8x8

Your GPU is ok and will be good to xfire latter when you get the newer monitor

Make sure your HDD / DVDs are sata

I would get a better PSU tho if your going to xfire latter

One of theses will do
