thanks


P.S. What mem would you pair up im looking at 8MB went i went higher on current build i got no improvement and i dont do video editing just first person shooter. I need the MOBO to have space as i plan to go 2 GPU in the end once prices fall for the second(need one where there a couple inch clearance otherwise they help to cook on another and look to get 290x.

I would get the Formula personally. It looks good and has many good options.

Plus more than 8gb is unneeded for gaming one game at a time. I figured out the hard way(bought 32gb plus my original 8gb)

I hear you. i did the same though less damage and noticed no improvement though it was already on long legs.
To get the point im trying to find and x97 that has best x16/x8 or pay extra and get x16/x16 (from what i read theres not much difference between x16/x16 and x16/x8 but x8/x8 which most do there is a FPS price particularly at the higher res). I do need HP since i will need to run at least 3 monitors and HC gaming 5-10% OC but not editing.

Thx
