Gotcha, I was looking at it wrong and missed the 1 and 2 by cpu and gpu

When I pick out a mobo I look for reliability firstly by reading as many ratings and reviews I can find on it. I also look at the VRMs to see how many power phases it has. More phases equals better power delivery and extended CPU life as well as more stable overclocks if you get into that.

Here is a build using some of my suggestions that is about at the same price point.

Thanks, Sadly the Motherboard and PSU were all part of the bundle that makes up that price ....the PSU was the part i was most wary of ... also im never quite sure on the differences between motherboards.
