Hi guys,
If there are any tweaks you'd make please let me know. i took the P6X58D mobo because it had usb 3.0 support. Is that correct? Will I have missing parts with an OEM blue ray burner? Is there a better HD than the Seagate? is there better Ram than the Gskill. I took it because Tom's said it was one of the best in a review.
I've been tweaking it since December though hehe. Today's the big day.
