HELP ME IN BUILDING MY NEW RIG
either stay with 780i or future proof with 790i

I don't get how that double-posted. Oh well.

Don't get suckered into future proofing. There isn't, and never will be, a significant performance advantage to DDR3 on a Core2 system. Until DDR3 becomes as cheap as DDR2 it's not advisable.

I assume you're going SLi? How big is your monitor?

Edit: And the caps aren't really necessary. I may have glasses, but my vision isn't that bad.

Neither. Intel is changing sockets near the end of the year. So even if you were to choose it wouldn't be "future proof".

future proofing does not exist in the computer industry... (except if you build a computer for someone who will use it for years is not even tech savvy enough to get a ram upgrade, in which case, get more ram or they will run out later and not even know it)
