Gaming/it build

[tomcat7810]

Another build I have been contemplating on for myself to play a lil starcraft2, run virtual machines, build websites, etc... I am a it major so it will get some school use and iTunes use. I'll add a hd I have laying around. So let me know what you guys think it's at about 730.00$ now and about 700 after rebates. If you guys see anywhere I can save money without sacrificing performance feel free to tell me, I'm a broke college student.

The ASRock board offers good features and performance price balance of the H67 ITX boards. I've used one in a build and was very happy with it.

Besides WiFi, the only other difference is the Zotac has DisplayPort and the ASRock has VGA/D-Sub. Both have DVI and HDMI, so it's most likely not an issue.

Check out this page for a quick and easy way to compare features on mini-ITX motherboards.

There's also a review of the ASRock on that site as well. Just type 'h67m-itx' into the search box on the site and it will come up.
