ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Here is what I have so far:
Motherboard: Please suggest. Need 1136 socket and between Asus or Gigabyte (all thats available to me in my area). Also I am looking at whether I should get 6 ram slots or just 4, I don't know whether its worth the $100 difference between two motherboards I've seen made by Gigabyte. I want to save money in this area if possible. I would upgrade in 3-4 years.
My motherboard options are:
ASUS P6T / P6T-Deluxe
GigaByte EX58-UD3R / EX58-UD5

I really thank you for taking the time to look through this for me. Please advise me if this build is good and any opinions on what motherboard to get. This is the first time I'm making my own computer.
