I have been waiting 8 months to either buy or build and finally decided to build. So I want to get going quick on this.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP or within a week
Budget Range: <$2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies and office programs
Parts Not Required: not including keyboard, mouse, monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: best price/service; newegg, etc.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel Sandy Bridge
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes in the future
Monitor Resolution:1920x1080
Additional Comments:I want to stay away from Liquid Cooling if possible as I am unsure of the benefit and install.
I am wondering 1) if this MoBo will do Ok with what I have put together as it is one of the few available atm, 2) if I need more cooling, 3) if the power is enough if I want to add another graphics card 4) any other comments on value, compatibility and quality of the build. Thanks for the comments! I can use the help.
