What do you guys think for battle field 3 and diablo 3? any suggestions welcome

 

[abekl]

I'm not thrilled with the motherboard, I'm just not a fan of MSI. But if you have confidence in the brand, I say go for it.

 

[Why_Me]

You want 2x4 GB of RAM, not 4x2.

 

[nkseal]

oh good thinking, i missed that, thank you!

 

[nkseal]

motherboard suggestions? i suppose a ASUS instead of the MSI?

Not really a asrock fan, and why the z68 chipset over the p67?

Asrock is out selling MSI atm in regards to motherboards, and that board not only will o/c better than that MSI board, it's set up with the new PCI-E 3.0 slots that Ivy Bridge will support.

So why not?
