I recently bought a Asus EAH4890 for my old desktop and a Corsair 850w to power it as well. To make a longer story short I'm going to need to buy the rest of a new computer as well. I was just looking for some ideas. I was wanting to hold out till the new 32nm comes out from Intel next year. Not sure if they are going to make socket 1366 processors for the 32nm because then I wouldn't mind spending the extra for an i7 and the mobo because upgrading would be cheaper. But more than likely they won't so I'll end upgrading sometime at the end of next year. So I guess I need a decent yet good System to take advantage of that 4890.
