Boy, have I lucked out in the past few months. First, my mobo started freakin' out on me, then my gtx 295 started running on one core...no sli enabled. Both were still under warranties, both no longer produced. So what did ASUS and MSI do? Replace them with new ones they are currently producing:
ASUS Rampage Extreme III Black Edition, and a GTX580 Lightning Edition...WHAAAAAT? I just finished re-building and I am very pleased with the results.
Check the picks...

P.S.- My 3dMarks are pretty similar.

If you buy their flagship products, which both were at the time, they treat you very well. Both companies are my favorite to deal with. And both make the best products, imo.

both companies are decent. If you have register and do all that stuff people think sucks when you get the stuff or it doesnt pay off in the end.

I been moving towards Gigabyte stuff myself or asrock and a couple others, just as good and plenty of flexibility.

MSI cards do rock pretty good though .

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you to built this powerful machine?
