    Discontinued?It's anything but.
    Besides,on Amazon it's still sold within the $50-70 range.No need for $150-400 Graphics Card,a $50-70 one that can alreadly handle just about anything is more than enough.

    Just trying to save Hallwagner over there some money,I went through this whole thing myself last year.

    Hall did I not already say go for a p55? its the only mobo that supports sli in the 1156 socket. even if its $20 more get it as the fermi scales amazingly in sli. If you dont want to sli get a cheaper PSU because that is OC.

    What I mean is you will be able to get a second 460 gtx (get the one gig, its awesomer) in 2 years for like 100 (and give your fps a 90% increase ) instead of spending 200 again for a brand new GPU

    To give you a pre-built alternative, check out this.

    Same motherboard, same processor, slightly smaller case (A60, as they don't carry the A90,) 4 GiB of better DDR3-1666 memory, a better video card (EVGA GTX460 1 GiB,) same size hard drive, a better power supply (Corsair CMPSU-650TX,) and optical drive, keyboard, mouse included. Comes assembled and delivered with a three year warranty on the whole thing for $799. The monitor you picked is $150, so with that system, and the same monitor, you'll get a better computer with a better warranty for around $100 less, and you don't have to deal with the hassle of assembly and dead parts.

    well i actually ended up getting a pre-built because of complications about y living situation and my friends work hours (long story...)

    amd phenom II X6 1035T processor

    ati radeon hd 5750 1024 mb graphics card

    1.5 tb hard drive

    8gb ddr3 memory

    not sure about the rest right now, but it was this plus a 22 inch monitor for 1100. a little more than i wanted to spend, but considering it would be a couple weeks or so if i would have chosen to build my own, so i figured it was worth it. having css relapse

    As long as it's a Crosshair 3 Formula MB (which has X Fi HD soundcard) you should be good and you can add another graphics card later to use Crossfire which would be very similar to mine and I'm very happy with the way it performs.
    One cannot improve if they cannot see their mistakes!

    If you can't do it right, Don't bother!
