Computer Build continued!

Hello Everyone! I have finally made a decision on the Motherboard.(it could change again)


GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AMD 900 Series Motherboard

Needless to say the most interesting observation is that we are going to use AMD as our CPU and not Intel. I will mention the CPU a bit later. One of the factors that came in to play is that this board supports Dual Bios, over clocking and also has 4 PCI Express x16. There are many more great reasons for us to have settled on this board. Just Google the Board name above and you will find all the specs you might be interested in.

Here is a link to Amazon with more details and reviews: http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-990FXA-UD3-990FX-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0055QYKQO

AMD Phenom II 1090T Black Edition Six Core CPU

As for the CPU this AMD chip is giving us 6 cores and AM3 Socket at a speed of 3.2GHz. more than enough for a very powerful desktop computer that will be able to support 4 monitors with 2 Video Card. Over all the CPU is giving more Bang for the buck compared to a Intel Chip in the same class. Like with the Motherboard I suggest you Google the Internet for the specs and reviews. We are excited to build this machine and test it in a strenuous everyday condition.

I chose to include the Amazon links because the reviews are very interesting.
