Need Mobo help!

Slee1324 · Mar 16, 2014

This is my first build and this is what i've come up with so far. So you know i dont plan to OC now or in the future(i dont know how and might have interest in the future but who knows) I also only need it to play D3 and SC2 on high settings. I dont know much about PC's but i've always wanted to build my own gaming PC. any info or changes would be greatly appreciated!
i'd like my budget below 650 if possible if not i understand

the memory you have chosen is 1.65v and on lower end boards can cause issues
i also changed your psu to a tier 1. the cx isnt a reliable corsair series
i also changed your disk drive to one that was 5 dollars cheaper and same specs

Awesome, Thanks a bunch for the help!
Do you think that would make a really good?
Especially for what i would use it for.

considering diablo 3 gets 153.9 fps and 176.6 fps on starcraft 2 on the highest settings then yes you will be great
