Hi,
I am looking for advice please. I recently got burned bad on an ASUS Sabertooth 990fx motherboard for an AMD x965 processor. I am now researching for a new motherboard and am reading a lot of issues with boards lately. My preferred price range is $100 - $200 ($250 max). Current specs - 8gigs Kingston ram 1066 - DDR3, GTX770 2gig ASUS PCIE graphic card, corsair 650 watt bronze level PSU, ASUS Sonar sound card, 24in ASUS monitor, 1TB Samsung HD, Samsung Blu-ray player, Sony writer/rewriter, Sony multi - card reader, Logitech speakers. I also have a Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler and a Cool Master HAF 932 Advanced tower. I was thinking Gigabyte or MSI, preferably compatible with the ram. I just spent 2yrs buying the parts, another 2 days building the system only to spend 5 weeks and counting dealing with the ASUS RMA process - nightmare. Until this I loved ASUS, but after this experience with their RMA process I am not looking for another ASUS board - EVER. Advice welcome please as I do not wish to get burned - again
