Comments and suggestions on this new build

What do you guys think for battle field 3 and diablo 3? any suggestions welcome

I'm not thrilled with the motherboard, I'm just not a fan of MSI. But if you have confidence in the brand, I say go for it.

You want 2x4 GB of RAM, not 4x2.

oh good thinking, i missed that, thank you!

motherboard suggestions? i suppose a ASUS instead of the MSI?

Out of curiosity what's your budget and when do you plan on buying?

budget $1000 for the pc or so, and im looking to buy soon, unless new technology is coming very soon thats promising?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... <---- That monitor on newegg

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=Z68%20Extre... <--- another look at that board

http://www.asrock.com/microsite/PCIe3/index.html <---- PCI-E 3.0 for Intel Ivy Bridge due out next spring.

Not really a asrock fan, and why the z68 chipset over the p67?

Asrock is out selling MSI atm in regards to motherboards, and that board not only will o/c better than that MSI board, it's set up with the new PCI-E 3.0 slots that Ivy Bridge will support.

So why not?

valid point, iv just had some bad luck with asrock in the past. ill look into it, and you think that monitor over the 25"

price point with the monitor.

oh, well i ment $1000 on the pc alone. but thats fine lol, oh i dont think i put video card in there

any more info is appreciated, been awhile since iv built anything, and i like g.skill iv been running it for 5 years and its always been good ram, you think it would be fine with this build?
