Well in 2 weeks this will be my first build. What would you change about it? What should I change about it. I know that several of you will say, don't get DDR3 it's overpriced, but I was trying to plan for the future. I figure in a couple years, i will wanna upgrade, and if I already have a DDR3 capable mobo, then i won't have to get another one, and that's more money I can spend on other parts. By the way the monitor, and video cards, I already have. I am considering getting the EVGA 750i mobo, and a top notch set of some fast DDR2 ram, if I change my mind about DDR3 790i mobo. Anyways Tell me what you think.
