Thanks Jbaker. I was proud of my self for this build actually! Lol I have an Antec PSU That monitor is really nice! I might grab that actually. I do have a question about the HSF, Is the v8 not good? or is it just over priced?
the v8 is over priced and over rated http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm
It's not really that overrated, it's just overpriced imo

I actually have a nice little combo deal going on newegg...bout 30 dollars off with the Mobo and the v8, I wonder if maybe its worth it since im saving the money?
