Re: Critique my new build
 

I wouldn't buy an ABIT board, well if they were a $0.01.

Buy an intel mobo and save yourself the headache! I don't get why people who use there PC for something like poker would ever consider any other board.Intel boards are know for rock solid stability.

Personally I use 2 video cards, 1 in my PCI Express and a standard PCI card. Both have dual outputs, but the express one is a higher end card for gaming, and then the second PCI card is a cheaper (like $60). Both of my video cards are NVidia chipsets and they play well together.

First off, you linked to the 37 gig Raptor. Get the 75, or two of them. Your orginal spec was 300 gigs, how much room do you need?

Intel = Rock solid parts made for the serious user

Think about it, if you bought a Intel cpu, why wouldn't you want an Intel mobo?

And this is the stupidest line of reasoning I've ever heard. I'm not disputing that Intel makes a good board, but it's asinine to believe that using an Intel processessor with an Intel board is magically better than any other combo.

Since we already chose an intel cpu and now want a mobo and we know that intel makes the best mobos we know also know that the intel cpu and intel mobo will be the best combo. But I don't mind, go and buy your shitty Abit and other asian crap, I won't help anyone that has problems with them. People always want the "cool" stuff, but it is also what makes all problems. I see absolutly no reason at all NOT to buy an intel mobo if you are gonna run an intel cpu.

You continue to assert that Intel makes the best mobo, but don't back it up.

I would definitely not pick an Abit board as my first choice (unless it was my beloved BH6) but I don't think I'd go with Intel over Asus.

An overpriced sticker does not a good mobo make.
