New system - 5770 or 4890?

MOBO Suggestion

If you go with the Gigabyte GA-M790X-UD4P you'll be able to unlock the four cores in the proc. I'm not sure if the 785 chipset will do this for you. Runs at the same temp as when using two cores and jumped my proc. score from 6.8 to 7.3.

Not here - the mobo is an extra 50. Can't see the point. Dual-core is enough.
