| Re: New Build - Feedback Please The 169.99 pioneer is an oem and the 179.99 is a retail version, That's the only difference i can tell. I'd just go with the 169.99 pioneer personally. unless you have HD-DVD' laying around. The LG will play those as well  Phenom 9950 Asus M3A78-CM 4GB Crucial Ballistix EVGA Akimbo 8800GT - 1024MB X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro Seagate 500GB Antec 900 Case Antec Earthwatts 500w XP Pro w/SP3 Logitech z-5300e 5.1  Last edited by BrokenHalo83; June 17th, 2008 at 19:49. |

| Re: New Build - Feedback Please Haha oops, missed that. Yeah I guess the HD-DVD drive would be useless. Someone mentioned on a review that they were experiencing jaggy's with the drive. Is that a hardware or GPU issue? |

| Re: New Build - Feedback Please Could be running a crappy cpu or a crappy gpu I'd assume. Yooure computer is going to be pretty up to date so I dont see that happening, but to be sure, I'd look around for reviews on the web for the one you decide on.

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively  | Re: New Build - Feedback Please To be 100% honest, unless you have to have SLI, I'd recommend an INTEL chipset....either the X38 or the X48 would be a good choice. As to the Raptor.....IMO they are a waste of money.....for that money you can get yourself a nice 1TB drive and partition it for a couple operating systems.

| Re: New Build - Feedback Please I can vouch for the X38. it's an awesome chipset. Phenom 9950 Asus M3A78-CM 4GB Crucial Ballistix EVGA Akimbo 8800GT - 1024MB X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro Seagate 500GB Antec 900 Case Antec Earthwatts 500w XP Pro w/SP3 Logitech z-5300e 5.1 |

| Re: New Build - Feedback Please Funny that you should bring that up, the mobo was the one thing I was really not 100% on. I've read a lot of stuff saying it was a hit/miss with the 790i. Which x48 would I be looking at getting? And for what reasons did you suggest an x38/48 over the 790i? Edit: Btw, I do plan on running SLI in the future.

| Re: New Build - Feedback Please Intel chipsets seem to have less problems overall. I'm pretty sure some members here can tell you some horror stories about their nvidia boards. But if you are going to running SLI you're gonna need an nvidia chipset.

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively | Re: New Build - Feedback Please I almost always recommend INTEL chipsets because the boards are usually much more stable....but since you want SLI, you are pretty limited in your choices.
