    eVGA X79 FTW :(

    Same story here but with a 3820. I actually thought I ordered the evga board but for some reason it never processed. I told newegg and they offered me $20 off of a open box Intel X79TO, I did mention I was interested in the open box board hoping they would give me a discount due to my budget...

    are Biostar motherboards any good?

    Biostar is fine, BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 is a pretty good board. XE3 and XE4 are the top of the line for them. Comparable to most high end motherboards. I have had a few(at the very least 4) Biostar motherboards in the past 2-3 years and none of them had any kind of failure.

    Question about mobile GPUs

    Better place to ask would be on the notebookreview forums but anyways it would be better to get a clevo/sager they have more options for less money and you could just get dual cards if you need something better than the gtx 580m, 6990m is pretty much on the same level but as of right now their...
