Motherboard: Looking to get one of the new ASUS P67 B3 mobos when available. Could use help on the exact model I should be getting. I'll put $250 aside as a rough estimate for what I'll need.
Sound Card: Will be running a Logitech z5500 5.1 sound system with this computer. Could use help with what I should be looking for in this department.
Total Price: $1417.90 plus whatever the sound card/second optical drive will be, which is about $500 or so under my budget. Had a thread on this build about a month and a half ago right before the processors got recalled and I had a lower budget at the time. This is my first computer project so what should I be looking to upgrade with that extra $500? Thanks for the help!
