Um, I'm looking for a new system. Who/where did you purchase this system?
Did you get 6G-Sata drivers?
Any one else with a new 6+ processor AMD rig, that got a bargain,
would be keen information (Dale?).

Mine is 4 core but 6 core ready. Just didn't have the extra cash at the
time. Mine is a Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3 but you may can find similar with
6Gbs/sec drives for a bit more, especially on sale. The rest seems to
be about the same. I bought all the electronics at newegg except the
power supply which I got at Tiger Direct.
One thing, buy two 4Gb sticks of ram off the bat. They are much faster
in pairs and no need getting smaller ones when you have to remove them
to upgrade. I'm up to 8Gbs with another 8Gbs on the way, hopefully DHL
won't loose these.
Am I happy with my set up, darn skippy. Oh, sign up for newegg's
newsletter and they have great sales at times. I have had zero luck
with the rebates tho. Supposed to be here in 10 weeks and I sent them
both off before Christmas. They better hurry. ;-)
I did look at MSI but decided against it. It seems that Gigabyte has
the best rated mobos at this time. That may change but you know. We
live in the moment not the future.
I can get you a full list if you need it. Oh, total cost for a nice rig
with new monitor and all, about $1,000 or so. It is built like a tank tho.
