    Are these a good match?
    EVGA X58 SLI LE Motherboard - 230
    Intel Core i7 920 Processor BX80601920 280

    Also, which memory would be better? The prices are close. Mainly going to be used for gaming.
    OCZ Gold Tri Channel 6GB PC16000 DDR3 2000MHz Memory - 3x2048MB
    OCZ Platinum Tri Channel 6GB PC12800 DDR3 Memory - 1600MHz, 6144MB (3 x 2048)

    Thanks for any info!

    I'm no fan of EVGA motherboards, or OCZ memory for that matter. My choices would be a Biostar TPower X58 and Corsair Dominator memory. PC12800 is fine, but no lower.
