lmao apart from the case that is exactly what i've just built (i got the akasa mirage) it runs like a dream and it was my first build.
 
Looks good, part from the Akasa Ambers which can be pretty noisy in there 120mm form plus there are better fans which push more air.

Yate Loon and Scythe fans might be a better investment.

which models
 
The Commando's an Intel chipest whereas the Striker's nForce 680 (I seem to recall there were some problems with that chipset? Something to do with data corruption?).

I don't think the Commando supports SLi. Can someone confirm?

Apart from that the Striker's got a fancier heatpipe design and costs about £70 more.

Don't take my word for it though, but I wouldn't spend that much on a mobo.



Do you have a budget?

so should i get the commando and i dont have a budget
 
It gets a good review in CustomPC.

If you don't have a budget and want SLi the Striker's probably the best you're going to get.



Get me one while you're at it. :p

I'd wait to get some more opinions first though.
 
I have found the regular cooling on my BFG 680i is enough to get me to 3GHz easily, so it depends what you're going to do with it.

650SLi board (Asus and Abit do one each) is probably all you'll need, and then you've saved yourself over a ton.

If you were going to get the Striker, then I would suggest you get entirely overclocking-friendly components like Team Group or Crucial 10th Anniversary RAM, Seasonic, Enermax, Tagen or Corsair PSU, Nexus Fans, etc, etc...
