just waiting for the gtx 260 to get cheaper, then I'll get one... for now I'm still using my old EN8500GT

the quad cores seems stable, I did the balanced prime95 test for 6.5 hours without problems
That's very close to my list

# Coolermaster Storm Sniper Case
# Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 500W PSU
# Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P
# AMD Phenom X2 550 Black Edition
# XFX Radeon HD 4870 1GB
# 2qty – Patriot Extreme Performance Viper 4GB DDR3-1600
# 2qty – Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black SATA2 Drives
# Samsung SH-S223B/BEBE
# Xigmatek HDT-S1283 CPU Heatsink

Actually the Patriot RAM sticks were too high profile for my heatsink, so I switched it to some Mushkin HP3 DDR3-1600...

I think I kinda went overkill with this build, but hey, better than drinking money HAHA

Did you pull the BIOS firmware from Giga-byte's website?
