Basically, every component has been picked bar the motherboard. It is going to be paired with G.Skill HZ 6400 (X1800XT & E6300).
I understand that the Allendale cores overclock better with the 965 chipsets, i am stuck between the following boards:
Gigabyte DS4 or DQ6
Asus P5B Deluxe P5W DH Deluxe (even though its a 975)
I can either of them within my budget, but only require Firewire, no real need for Xfire, SATA and decent onboard sound is a must as i threw a sound card out of the basket and hopefully will replace with onboard sound. (DQ6 has good onboard sound?)
