Only thing that I do not want to change is the CPU - I will NOT overclock, will NOT be using multiple monitors, no plans to utilize SLI or Crossfire either. Machine will be used for moderate gaming, business applications and video editing. I will be purchasing the GPU at a later time so that may change as products, prices and availability changes as well. Biggest question is the Mobo - any suggestions for a better one (and the reasons it is better) would be appreciated.
