wouldnt hurt. keep in mind that CES will be showing things that may or may not be available in the near future. CPU wise, i think you may see modest CPU gains showcased but maybe insight to some CPUs that may drop in price. wow the platform cost is very close on those. tough decision you have there as none of them are bad choices. just curious to how good the boards you picked are. only saying that because if you picked out a cheapo board for one to get the cost close to the other, you will suffer in the long run. not SAYING that is the case but just curious.
