Well I'm planning on replacing my s939 system with a new one in the next few weeks and am looking for opinions.It will be used for gaming and occasional light video editing.I will be re-using my 21 inch wide screen LCD as it's only a couple years old.Been using AMD for the last 9 years but I'm ready to give Intel another shot,mainly because all the socket changes since my last build make my head spin.I'd like to stay away from anything MSI,I've had nothing but bad luck with any of their stuff.My budget is $1000 possibly $1200 if I can swing it.


Thanks in advance,

I was thinking of going with something like I found in a previous thread.I noticed the CPU/mobo combo isn't available anymore though.
