I need a main PC since I have sold off most of my other stuff. I plan on building a no holds barred X58 this fall. I need something now that wont break my wallet too much but give me great performance and that I have fun toying around with like overclocking. I would like the newer features such as USB 3.0 and SATA III. I haven't built an AMD system in a while and I was leaning that way since the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition is nicely priced. The GIGABYTE GA-790FXTA-UD5 looks like a nice MB and has most of the stuff I need. I am looking at just under $400 shipped from Newegg for this pair. Is there an Intel setup that compares for about the same price? Any recommendations on DDR3 RAM for either? Looking for CPU, MB and RAM. Any info is greatly appreciated.
