Hello all, I originally intended to go the AMD route, but they delayed bulldozer AGAIN so I decided to just stick with an i5 2500k for this build. I could get a great AM3+ mobo for $100... is the same true of Intel-based mobos? Anyways, here's my build. I don't really want to go over $150 for a good mobo, but if it's absolutely necessary, I will.

GPU: 6970... will OC and add another in a few months
