Hey everyone, I'm going to be building my first homebuilt computer in a couple of days. So far someone from the homebuilt forum has picked out all the parts for me, and seriously it's basically the same as the one I picked for myself but the parts are definitely cheaper. Anyways, I was wondering if getting a ASRock H77M mother board was a good idea. I've never heard of the brand so I'm uncertain how the quality is. So I'm just asking around for more information. My PC is going to have a Asus gtx 660, i5 3350p. Here is the comprehensive list of the parts I'm considering.
