So far, I have these components currently in hand, and I'm looking into finishing this build asap so I can start gaming on it;

ASUS Graphic Card GTX660-DC2O-2GD5

AMD FX 6300 processor

Apevia X sniper 2 case with a Rosewill Stallion Series 600W Power Supply RD600

Now this is the part where I can use some advice-

I was getting the MSI Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 Chipset ATX DDR3 800 AMD AM3+... It was in the mail and the package got lost...but i got the refund and was about to re order it, when a friend that has been working with computers a lot longer than I, said it was not the way to go...and started listing off a bunch of different mobos... basically now I'm confused at what makes a good motherboard...and what will go with what I have right now

Thank you, I had already bought the Asus M5A97 R2.0 before I saw this so I'm glad I made a good choice
