What kinds of problems do you have with the asrock 970? And for the HDD I play league of Legends, osu, minecraft, binding of isaac, maplestory, terraria, tf2, combat arms, soldier front, on a laptop with like 320GB. And I still have space.. I think I am good enough with 500GB. If I need to upgrade I will do so in the future.

1tb cost only 10$ more. There are games which take up to 10-20gb each...

Asrock e.3 could not recognize hdd... Had bios problems...
Asus,gigabyte have generally a better quality.

I've seen people's builds that have HDD and the asrock mobo and say that they don't have any problem with the bios...
