[zuXi]

I have two similar builds from two different people. I want
to know your opinion(s) on these two builds.

Where are you located?
Canada
How much are you willing to spend?
$2000-3000 Canadian
What will you primary use the computer for?
Gaming, possible video editing.
Which online stores/retail shops do you prefer to buy from?
Newegg.ca
What Programs/Tasks/Games will you run on the computer?
Aion, Borderlands, Battlefield Series, Call of Duty Series, Sony Vegas
Are you willing to go over budget? If so by how much?
Gave a wide range, but i think 3000 will be the highest.
Do you need anything besides the computer itself? (monitor,
keyboard, operating system etc.)
Windows 7, and only a HDMI graphics card to hook up to my 42inch tv.

I want a computer that will last a few years and that
will be able to play current and near future games at
the highest settings.

EVGA Mobo Build


ASUS Mobo Build

They look almost identical except for the motherboard. The *ONLY* truly stable X58 motherboard is the Asus you picked. The Black drive is preferable to the Green, both power supplies are excellent, and XFX is not a good brand for the video card.

XFX is my only option on Newegg.ca
I keep getting mixed opinions on the ASUS and
the EVGA mobos. So choosing is becoming hard.

What do you know of the ASUS G2 ? Its what
i currently own. Personally, i dont think it is that
great of a product. Even 2yrs ago i had that same
opinion when i got it.

Here is my current build:


First, any good ?
Second, i need a case big enough to whole the 5870,
and i need a SSD seeming the intel one i selected just
was deactivated as i was about to order.
