all the i7 motherboard's are good - some better than others - this is reflected in their price.
as for gpu get your self a 4890 and then if you feel the need later on you can always go crossfire.

sowa616 · 23 Jul 2009 at 23:00

This

IMO multi card set ups are a bit of a waste of money. Buy the best single GPU your budget will allow. The size of your screen has a lot to do with this too. You have a screen already?

Some of the i7 bundles on here are mighty tempting, though nothing is pushing my E8400 too hard at the mo

stokecity_m · 23 Jul 2009 at 23:03

so you have £600 to spend on just CPU, motherboard,ram and graphics card?
