looks great.
only thing I would change is getting a asus motherboard. I had allot of problems with gigabyte boards..
but I have to say this board looks sweet!
What kind of overclocks are you going to aim at? :p

What would your recommendations for parts be? I would like an intel build. Also what other MOBO would you recommend?

As for over clocking, I haven't decided yet. I haven't built in five years so I'm not sure what I could get out of this processor. Thoughts?

Thanks!
