I purchased this board on Amazon after doing some research on the web, Mainly the tussle between Core I7 and Socket Am3. Core I7 is definitely faster but more expensive plus difference in performance is negligible UNLESS you're doing a Dual or Quad Crossfire gig.OK let me give you my full specifications:-
1. MSI 790FX-GD70
2. AMD Phenom 2 X4 955 3.2GHz, 6M L3 Cache
3. Zalman CNPS9700
4. Sapphire Radeon HD4870 1GB
5. Thermaltake Armor+Mx
6. Antec TPQ 850
7. HP 2159M HD Monitor
8. Corsair DDR3 1333 2x2GB (4GB Total)
9. Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB x 2
Folks I have this system up and running for about one month now with no problems. Some more specifications on the board as that is the main focus it has 4 DIMMS DDR3 2000+ up to 16GB, Four(4)PCI-E, Realtek 8 Channel bluray Ready Audio, Dual GB LAN, IEEE 1394, Raid, SATA2 , ESATA, Overclock Dial, Live Update, ATI Crossfire Technology, Express Cool (Eliminates noise), Rapid Boost (Stable Overclocking), AMD 790FX Chipset , ATI SB750 Chipset.Even has a Coaxial S/PDIF out jack /Optical S/PDIF out port. You gamers need to know though if youre going Quad there's not going to be much room to add anything else (the two PCI slots and the PCI-E X1 ) my card covers the PCI-E X1 the monster takes up two slots!! You'll also have to boost your power supply probably to a 1000 watts. Please note also that Socket AM2+ processors WILL NOT work In Socket AM3 boards, whilst Socket Am3 processors will work in socket AM2+\AM3 motherboards.
