3 builds, can't decide between

The x48 is just a cherry picked x38 board meant for "extreme enthusiasts"

Get build one with 8800GT 512MB

MSI 8800GT 512MB is selling at a very cheap price on newegg

 

[maroon1]

And don't waste your money on an expensive motherboard like X38

Get P35 instead

 

[thirdshiftdj]

I say get the quad

 

[DawnOfDoom]

I vote Quad also

 

[solidsteve]

ok thanks guys

decided on build 2 with a slight change to it

instead of having 2 radion 3850 256mb cards i'll be putting 2 radion 3850 512mb cards in

i'll also be using OCZ memory, the platinum edition is calling out to me right now

Why do you want 2 cards? Also if you insist on going crossfire you should go for the x38 as the P35 only has 16x + 4x PCI-E lanes and will bottleneck your second card.

Well isn't it obvious why he wants 2 cards? It just looks + sounds ownage

price mainly, the p35 mobo listed in build 2 is £87 where the x38 price start at £131 up

i'll look into it now but i doubt i'll get a x38

dont crossfire if your going p35. You gotta pay to play. Look into the 3870 x2 or just get a gts g92
