I was going to start a similar thread to this, am not really an expert at building pcs and things but am planning on doing one soon, i read a review which said the lanparty isn't for "the faint-hearted" as it takes a lot of setting up or something? Would the asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe be easier for someone like me who doesn't know a lot about bus speeds, voltages etc.
Also i was thinking of getting an ati x850 xt but if i got one of these motherboards would a geforce card be a better option for the possibility of using the sli?
edit: lol just read the rest of the forum, seems loads of ppl already asking similar questions, still replies welcome to help me out.
