so i posted my build in the other forum, but i have specific question about the ram and the mother board:

i want to use this mother board:

MSI X58M 1366 Intel X58 uATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-X58M-1366-...2757835&sr=8-1

First of all, this mother board is going in a high end gaming machine, im building this computer to play Crysis at maxed settings and resolution and eventually Crysis 2 when it comes out. Is this mother board a good board for a gaming machine? i will be using a 5970 for my graphics card.

question 2:

i was told that this mother board needs tri-channel Ram. is that better or worse than regular ram? i was planning on using 6 gigs of this ram:

6GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333MHz) CL9-9-9-24 Triple Channel kit NQ Series
http://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-PC3-10666-1333MHz-CL9-9-9-24-Channel/dp/B001K4O3PS/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1272848848&sr=1-3-fkmr1

how is this ram for a gaming machine?

thanks for any replies

Your first link to the MSI motherboard is not working. Can you fix that so we can know exactly which mobo you're referring to.
