Hi,

I am going to build myself a new i7 system but I was wondering if someone knew of what would be best. So far I have the processor and power supply.

i7 920 from Microcenter for 229
OCZ 600W laying around

Was wondering what case, motherboard and graphics card I should get. Was thinking of getting 2 4850s and CrossFire them. Or maybe 1 GX 280. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

All I need now are the graphic or graphics cards.

I just spent some time reading a few spot X58 mobo reviews on newegg. While I take it with a grain of salt it does seem like a lot less satisfaction with the X58's than the previous chipsets. Admit I didn't read many and I'm still a ways off from Nehalem.
