Opinions on my Opty 170 OC setup

[fbrdphreak]

OK so I'm not happy with my eVGA & E3 Venice 3200+. Here's what I'm thinking:

Opty 170
DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra (Can't justify $50 more for SLI :roll

Already got:

NeoPower 550HE
2x512MB Corsair XMS 3200C2
XP-90

I know the Corsair doesn't work the best with DFI, but I'm fine running a divider for now. I'll get some nice 2x1GB later.

The only other mobo I really considered is the Abit AN8-SLI (or is it A8N, LOL). But the SATA connectors are less ideal since I use short cables and I'd rather have OC capability than SLI.

Thoughts? TIA

good choice on the ultra. it can easily be modded to sli anyway! if you want to go cheaper, you can get the nf4-d (non-ultra). only difference between the two boards is one gigalan. other than that, both boards are moddable to sli-d boards (on the nf4-d board you have to do the sataII mod which is pretty easy as well).

as for psu, i'd recommend the ocz powerstream but i think the antec neopower (is this right) should be okay as well.

for ram, the corsair looks fine. the only corsair i've heard the dfi have a problem with is the value stuff.

You can still mod the Ultra boards? I'd heard they were "stopping" that :roll:

I think that's the way to go then!

Anyone have other thoughts?
