Well, I'm kinda iffy on the mobo, because the start up screen loops when you load it through sata 3.0, the sound isn't the best, and then if you wanted to add a sound card and crossfire, it has to be PCI-E. I might just get a P6T Deluxe V2 instead.. Besides the mobo, I think my build is pretty solid, but is the XFX 5850 really worth over $300?? I chose black edition because its only ~$10 more than the regular, if you include shipping.
~Edit~
Oh, I will be getting the 920 from MicroCenter, but do you guys think waiting for the 930 will be worth it? and do you any of you guys have any promo codes for any of the hardware I'm buying? I dont have a newegg account.
