Hey there,
I'm currently planning out my first gaming rig. I'm just looking for advice on choosing a good mobo and also want to make sure that the current mobo I have is compatible with the memory I have listed. And also if anyone has recommendations on good mobo's around $150 (preferably under). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Here's my parts list:

The build looks ok to me but i would need more detail on the memory to tell you if it's compatible but just at a glance it looks like a decent build. If you want to be really thorough compare the motherboard on the Asus website and there are compatiblity charts for memory and cpu's. Before i bought anything i would verify everything will work.
