Hey im new here, and to building a computer in general, so i wanted to ask a few questions.
First of all heres my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/N6XGbv
Is this mobo a good mobo? How does it fare in overclocking. Does it support the Kingston Hyperx Fury 1866mhz without any compatibility issues?
If anybody can also give me some advice on my parts in general that would be nice, ill be using this for medium gaming and minecraft.

The UD3P is the best 970 chipset board right now, it pretty mush performs just as well if not better than some of the fx990 boards. The only real difference between the ud3p and the fx board is the fact that you are limited to a 4x slot for crossfire, so as long as you only plan on using one card the ud3p is the best board. As far as the memory goes the kingston fury series does have some problems with amd boards, mostly because a lot of the boards are having problems grabbing the xmp profiles off of the memory and also being able to run them stable. The corsair vengeance works well with amd though. I have used the vengeance and vengeance pro for AMD stuff before without any problems.

It's the best 970 board on the market and better than a few of the 990's.
