Mackilroy Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Having ALC889a audio is preferable, but neither of those boards have that exact codec. It really depends on how much money you want to spend. I wouldn't go for a GTX 470 just yet – while you can get them to work, it takes more effort than a GTX 260 or HD 4870. Everything else looks fine, though your 700W PSU is overkill (I have an X58 system with a Core i7 and my PSU is only 500W). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
