Hi all.
I'm getting closer and closer to pull the trigger on my next build as I don't think I can wait for Broadwell on my current PC.
I don't do these often, so when I do I aim for high-end (no, I am not "future proofing", but am aiming for a longer life cycle): the budget is not the #1 concern here.
If you have a minute to help me check the parts list below, I'd appreciate it, just in case I picked something that would not work together (eg: Is there a slot open for the sound card?).
Thanks in advance!
