Intel Core i7 listings show up on NewEgg to tease you, then split

Weaksauce PSU/GPU though, but not that bad if you're willing to upgrade the PSU/GPU, maybe the case too. the RAM could be the generic ones w/o heatspreaders

Also on the RAM, but its a good deal though

MSI X58 Platinum has a nice price for a x58 motherboard, 2x PCI-E 2.0, and 8 SATA ports....Perhaps I should get a board with 10 SATA ports

I was able to make a build with i920 for $1200
Core i7 920
MSI X58 Platinum
3GB Corsair DDR3-1333
ASUS HD 4870 512MB
Corsair 750TX
Western Digital 640GB
Antec 300

That's not too shabby considering mine was almost $1100 for CPU/MOBO/RAM

Only $1200 !! WoW

Does MSI X58 Platinum support SLI, or only crossfire ?

Both!

Yeah, and for 1000 you can get a 4850 with a 650tx, which is an awesome computer for 1000 bucks.

Translation: and for 1000~ you can get a 9800 GTX+ with a 650tx, which is an awesome computer for 1000~ bucks.

Well played, sir.

1600 bucks:

-Antec Nine Hundred
-i7 920
-MSI Platinum X58 Motherboard
-Seagate 7200.11 500GB HDD 32mb cache
-Corsair 750tx
-Corsair XMS3 (3 x 1gb)
-Samsung DVD Burner
-2 x EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked

On that note, I will be selling my Foxconn 8600GT for 1600 dollars. It's used, but it's by far the fastest graphics card ever made. Capable of getting 150fps on Crysis, Highest settings, all AA and AF on, 1900 x 1200 resolution. And I base this on absolutely nothing. Takers?

Both!

So, all X58 motherboards support SLI ?!

I didn't know that, I thought only some of them will support SLI

I'm pretty sure X58 boards do both crossfire and SLi. I might be wrong though.

X58 Platinum is only Crossfire, only some do SLI/Crossfire....the ECLIPSE SLI does both
