Thanks. If I had more money at the time I would have upgraded to a better Motherboard (Mainly for SATA 6.0 Gbps),
but I am happy with the H61MGC. Mainly just light gaming and web browsing, but will probably install a decent GPU like the 6850 down the road.

Really nice build, I'm planning on buying the same mobo with an i5 2400, is it all easy to connect and put together? as it's going to be my first build aswell. Also did you use jumpers in you build aswell?

It seemed rather easy, especially due to the NZXT Gamma's cable management.
One problem was the case's front input for audio cable was too short to reach to
the input on the motherboard. For some reason the front audio input is farther away from all the other inputs.

But that isn't really the motherboard's fault. So everything seems okay.

Thanks I'm also buying a case with cable management and you've got a great build, can't wait till I put mine together , so how did you fix the audio input problem?

I in general don't care for front audio jacks (They look sloppy with wires hanging out the front IMO), so I left the cable disconnected. I could buy a super cheap extension for that cable to fix the "problem" but I didn't find it necessary.
Most cheap speaker sets have a headphone jack on the speakers, so that was another reason.

Good luck with your build!

Jumpers aren't really used in builds any more.

Great job! Everything looks very well built and the cable management is great. Thanks for posting the pics, always nice to see builds in the flesh.
