Mage eka:

E5200
Foxconn G31MX-K 2.0
2GB DDR2 Kingston RAM
STLab 8600GT 512MB
Mercury 450W PSU
Samsung 22x Writemaster
Samsung Spinpoint HDD

All are stock at the moment, thinking of maxing the RAM to 4GB soon and also getting a better VGA (probably 3850).

Motherboard is SO awesome. ONLY 5750 bucks for a C2D/C2Q 45nm, 800MHz RAM AND 1600MHz FSB motherboard! Awesome value.

Can u OC it well? We weren't sure, that's why we got a Foxconn Mars. :/

BTW, if you think of updating the vga card, u need to buy a new PSU. All in all, a cost of about 25000-35000 in total.

Yep, OCing is a breeze with the board. Wasn't expecting this level of performance from the board. The chipset seems just as good as a P35/G35 in almost every way. The 4GB RAM limit is disappointing though..

I did consider the Mars, but it's WAY too expensive. Why pay that much more when this kickass mobo is available for 5750 :D?

Oh and I don't have to get a new PSU, this is why I believe I got an AWESOME deal with the PSU. The PSU gives a total of 33A (!!!!!) on two 12V rails. For 1750 bucks, I don't think you can beat this. Besides, Mercury has been very reliable for me.

    My Amacrox PSU gives 43A on its 2 12 V Rails :P and has a 85% efficiency
    What is your PSU's efficiency? :)

    Showoff! :P

    Well, my PSU has 65% efficiency at full load. Lower than yours, but mine costs WAY less that yours (yours is around 7K I believe?).

    Try plugging in a new, faster VGA. It (PSU) will burst into flames. Believe me!!!

    Besides, how did you two "measure" PSU efficiency???
