Ok this is the build so far, i'm pretty happy with what is up there but i keep running into MOBO problem. I have a few weeks before i start ordering, this means most of the P67 MOBO'S that have been recalled will be coming back around the time i order. I'm looking for a MOBO within the range of $100-$150 (max at 175)

-Wont be overclocking at the start
-Will be heavy MMO (games) use involved in this computer
-Will be running Windows 7


Please only knowledge people with custom gaming computer answer, i've posted 2x with similar type questions and keep getting people re-writing entire build.....


Thank You in advance
 
" Why go mATX when an ATX board is cheaper and performs basically the same"

Because, when I was buying my board the only board in with dual PCI-E x16 slots were either expensive ATX boards or the mATX boards with the same features but cheaper, I went with Asus becouse I trust them.

oh, well I'll tackle that problem once it gets here then, I don't have two 560's in my backpocket so by then I should be able to upgrade my mobo./GPU anyway.
 
Thx for all your post , sorry for being late on post, friend call me for a few drinks, as the case go i was looking a the spec/cost and found it, the 200mm fan is to add color (don't ask me why), just like red, and also i owned a 900 so i love the 200mm fans b/c it pulls so much air. as for the information i build i would really be happy it the links were post, as for anti-static band i live in a apartment and half of it is covered in carpet so its a extra precaution for static discharge.

Let me just double check
-Power = solid
-Build = solid
-building will be helped with watching some videos/posts
-And the mother board i selected MSI P67A-G45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 is perfect.
-And 4gigs of ram will work?

Thank you all for your help
