Good $1000 computer?

[napsterlone]

Hey everyone, so I have been researching what parts to get on my PC for a while and have come to this build. Please comment on my build and point out any things I should change. I will be using this computer to download torrents A LOT, extreme internet use, and mild gaming. I want a good video card for when I game, but am not looking for dual cards or extremely expensive ones. I am getting the entire build with keyboard, mouse, and OS for $950.00. Below I have two questions and my specs. THANKS!

- Which motherboard is the better one and why? Please be specific.

1. Asus P8Z68-V LX

2. GigaByte GA-Z68A-D3-B3

3. MSI Z68A-G43 (B3)


- What hardware should I change in order for me to multitask and download better/faster?

They all offer the same features so that would be more of a preference thing. I would go with the ASUS, but the others have nothing wrong with them...

HD - If that isn't a Seagate 7200.12, Samsung F3 1TB, or Western Digital Black, then you should look to upgrade for reliability reasons.

CPU Cooler - Liquid cooling is cool and all, but doesn't provide the performance per dollar, nor does it do much better than a solid air cooler. The Cooler Master Hyper 212+ is all you need to OC the 2500k.

Factory OCing - You can do this easily yourself. Unless it is free, drop it from your order...
