As people know I am building a new computer for school, I will have around 1400 for the desktop I need it to be first off a work horse second a gamming rig.
I am going to collage for game simulation, I plan on taking Electronics technology next bachlors in order to achive my masters degree in Information systems. ( yes I want to design the next gen gamers hardware) I am at the hardest descion I am faced with right now concidering I have a new OS i am falling in love with, choosing the right motherboard and processor(s), I am going to use a 120G ssd drive for installing the OS and certian programs, others I havent decided on what type of hard drive or drives yet.
I want a 3.2Ghz or faster proc, dual proc would be nice yet then I am now looking in to having to go server board and then the video cards I would liek to use are univailbe do to archtiture. I am a fan of gygabite technologies every one I have built has done what i build them for and beyond. but I am open to go with another maker even a intell board or AMD board ( does amd even make boards?) I will need the option of having dual vid cards NOT in sli or X-fire. also upgradability is a must...... I dont want to spend a good chunk on proc and mobo just to have to replace it in a year I am wanting this build to last three years with minimal upgrades.
I preferr Intell over amd I belive they are more stable and right now have the fastest procs otu there.
Would like to hear peoples feed back on mobo and proc before I make the desicion to buy. I am also going with the 64 bit versiopn of W7
