Hello everyone. I have built a couple of rigs in my day. I have a new project but i can't seem to find a good motherboard. I plan on buying a motherboard to house these components:
My main worry is with the video cards. I would like the PCI EXPRESS 2.0 slots to be seperated so there isnt heat issues. I also need suitable DDR3 memory to go with the motherboard. Any comments and suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks guys.
