Lookin into detailed parts, the motherboard linked is ... very blue. lol. Yea I shouldn't be so picky on colour or anything but.. lookin more this board Newegg.com - Foxconn Renaissance LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards has full x16/x16 for GPU (in case I go duo cards) shouldn't I go ahead and pay a little more for the x16/x16 ? (plus I like the color more) is it a decent board still?

Umm.. get this one, it's a reliable board, from a reliable company.

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

k' then I just needa replace the case with a window-less one and stuff or something cuz I hate blue. lol.

Just get a Cooler Master 690, which kicks butt. And you can take out the free blu led fan in the front for free! (Unless you replace it with a better fan, which you'd probably do..) It has pretty good cooling. If you REALLY want a good case get a CM Cosmos S 1100, every once in a while it goes down to like $150, and is like the God of cooling, or the Devil, because it has kinda red teme, but you can also take out the fan in the front for free! xDD

If you really don't like the Blue gigabyte board, this is what a lot of people have bought

Newegg.com - ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

I really would recommend going for a 22" or bigger lcd with the kind of computer your looking at building, otherwise you could really get away with a $1000 build...

Dude, if she goes CFX, she can run a 52" monitor, lol. But does the color matter, if you're not going to have a side window? xD Asus has like terrible customer service, don't they? I've head they're kinda going downhill.

What is this CFX you speak of?

Asus customer service isn't that bad, plus newegg will have you rma it with them if it has any problems out of the box.

lol, well, mr. watercoolingisseriousbusiness, by CFX, I mean CrossFireX. Eh, then either mobo is good, but I'd go with Gygabyte.

Well technically, a 52" LCD is going to, at most be 1900x1080, at which resolution a single 4870 would do just fine seeing as thats essentially the same res as a 24"...

Also sorry, never heard of it referred to as CFX before. Must be getting old

 

[1337_JohnN]

I said 52" because it sounds like it has potential, which it does! I think Ii just made CFX lol, I thought most people would understand, because I usually say that, when it relates to gfx cards.
