It's really up to you. Personally, if I was spending that much, I'd want the latest and greatest. However, if you DO stick with AMD, you might want to drop to the phenom2 X4 965. No games will take advantage of 6 cores, so you may as well save that cash, and use it on an SSD or save for later.Roggirek

You REALLY don't want to gamble on the PSU, it could potentially kill every other component in your PC. Also, I do hope you are aware that anything beyond regular crossfire is going to get poor scaling and spotty game support. As far as mobo's go, x8 x8 really will not hurt your performance all that much, its usually like 2-5% vs 16/16.Roggirek

Go with the Asus mobo. And switch PSU to something like the Antec TPQ1000W. BFG is defunct, so when something goes wrong with the PSU, you've got nowhere to go...

But i dont know if this setup is right anymore since somebody told me that processor is 2 gens behind and i should get those new intel but if i do i gotta change my mobo and that makes it all complicated again since all the mobos ive seen are way to expensive and most of them dont even support 2 video cards at 16x. If i go with this setup i can get two at 16x, and 4 at 8x.

also this mobo looks very good.
