Asus Crosshair IV Formula

[Sickamore]

I am building my super machine but i am a bit confused and dont know if i should go with this equipment. I love this board. I just dont know exactly if i should go with AMD x6 Core proccessor or intel I7.i have long been a AMD fan and not Intel. I would like to get the best for my buck. I read in a thread on here saying that AMD doesnt play well with crossfire x mod. I just want to start a nice machine for gaming and then overclock it later on. The problem i have with this board is that it doesnt support SLI mode. Which i dont care about to much because i dont know about it. Please can some one help me who has experience on building a nice gaming machine.

I don't see the point of blowing serious cash on an overpriced AMD mobo especially if you intend to buy a unlocked Phenom II. My budget 785G already takes my Phenom to 3800/2600 without voltage tweaking; any further OC can be easily done but it takes a lot of voltage to get it past 4GHz which is unviable on a day to day basis.

The thing is i just want to be ready for whats coming in the future. this is going to be my gaming system. I dont want to do a upgrade for a while i want a machine that can support almost everything that comes at it. Should i get a board that support both SLI and radeon.
