antec 300, 4gb gskill, phenom II 545 x2, ocz z series 550watt, palit gtx 260 sonic, WD1tb + 80gb backup. Cpu is linx stable 100 pass on 2048memory and prime 12 hours stable. Memtest86+ passed.
My gtx 260 sonic crashed when playing gta IV and tf2. It is not a heat problem since furmark only gets it to 70C. My gtx260 did that at stock speeds. Windows 7 x64, driver 258.96. It never happened in vista 32bit + ??? drivers
To save money, get a core i5 750/760 and a p55, 4gb of ram and your set until bulldozer comes. It's not the best time for a new rig since sandy bridge and bulldozer are coming soon
you unzip the bios on to your harddrive somewhere you can remember then reboot and go into the bios and get into the asus's flashing thing, locate the file and flash it
