Excellent thread man... I have almost the exact same build I am working on. I just have a different processor (would have gone for one of the BE's or one of the newer 4850e's but the 4400+ that I got was only $60 at the time), only 2GB of ram (Corsair XMS2 6400), LG GGC-H20L dual HD format drive, and I haven't chosen a Tuner card yet. I'll be outputting to an Onkyo HT-S894 5.1 system through HDMI and then out to a Westinghouse 37in. display.
Question: I don't fully understand why you are going for full software instead of hardware acceleration? I thought the reason for getting this mobo was for its GPU hardware acceleration and decoding abilities.
All my parts have arrived except for the 780g and Hard drive... I'm itching to start building lol. |
