We don't recommend the X58 platform unless you have a specific need for it and you are an experienced builder. The difference in performance between it and a properly speced out P55 is very small, and you can save some money.
Asus P7P55D-E (P7P55D-E Pro if you ever want to SLI) i7-870 Dual channel 1333 MHz or low voltage 1600 ram - 4gb x 2 kit if you want more than 4gb |
