Good Motherboard - Great Price

[Xantheous]

Notleh showed me this the other day and I thought you guys that are building a PC on a budget would appreciate it. It is a $200 board that runs like a $300 board.

EVGA 750i SLI FTW $199.99 can be found for $150.00 so I hear

This budget SLI motherboard provides high end performance and deep features for a much smaller cost. As EVGA puts it, the 750i SLI FTW is engineered For The Win. Now let’s get to is and see what For The Win is all about.

Here is the review (http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTQ5NCwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==)

Here it is on New Egg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188026)

Thank you Xantheous. I am looking to upgrade soon but I was looking at the 790i with a geforce 9800gx2. Anyone have these? Does it scream?

[Xantheous]

I will let you know next Friday :) and do not do the 790, DDR 3 is not worth it.

[Bvapbdap]

DDR 3 is not worth it
only because of the prices though


ending of 2008 prices of ddr3 will be 40% lower than what they are currently so hold ur wallets everyone (unless you got a fat one)

Good to know because I will be running into a little money here soon and priced all the stuff I wanted to get at close to 1300. Of course that was a motherboard, CPU, Ram, Video Card and power supply.

and lucky me, I get all his hand-me-downs! woot

[nsnowden]

So True lol

But the hand-me-downs will be an Intel P35 board with an Intel C2D quad, 8800 video card, 2gb of DDR2 ram and a 700w power supply... so it is not a bad hand-me-down.

To get her upgraded means I get to be supper upgraded lol

[Xantheous]

My P35 was the cause of me having to replace it and the processor after around 8 months of use. But eh, if it's a hand-me-down. I'm spiteful though, so I doubt I'll ever buy an Intel board again.
