Now for my problem, I can't decide on a mobo or video card. I'm building this comp for high end gaming.
for the mobo I was looking at either the EVGA x58 or ASUS P6T or one around the price range of these. Sadly I don't know enough about either of them. All the research I've done shows me good and bad experiences with both...
As for the video card, I originally was thinking about 2x GTX 260's but that's kinda pushing my total price range. If that setup is worth it I'll do it or would it be better to get like a single gtx275 then grab a second when the price lowers? Or any other options anyone can conjure up. Looking from anywhere up to around $380 for the video card.
Any help is very much appreciated.
