MSI has next to no CS, but other than that I've heard nothing but good things about their boards, so I'm sure it was a good choice. If you're looking for some good deals on RAM check out the sales at NCIX I suppose or newegg. Should be able to pick up a decent set for $80 for some good OCs. 4870 would be a good buy for a card.


Yeah, I'm going into this knowing their customer support isn't on par with the other companies. However, I think things should be fine; there's a good amount of resources for the board, and it has a pretty decent fanbase.

I'm watching NCIX and other sites like a hawk for good DDR3, but it seems as if DDR3 isn't as cheap as it was only a few months ago. My concern is whether I should aim for 1333 with timings in around 7-7-7-20ish, or 1600 with higher timings, at a higher price. Voltages are also making me a bit confused, because it seems AMD needs 1.65V whereas Intel's P55 is at 1.5V.
