Sorry, I should have been more thorough...
OK, Budget, as inexpensive as I can go without sacrificing my needs, intel only, no amd's. I need several USB2 ports, 2 front, 4-6 back for my preexisting peripherals. I have no idea about this MoBo or if it has what I need to match the case, and the case works well with it. The case has good cooling (*lots of fans), and seems to be roomy by measurement. I am trying to educate myself to be knowledgeable on my parts. But sadly some of this tech stuff is so over my head I worry I will match the parts wrong. I have someone who has offered to assemble for a flat fee, but I want to know if this is good before I show it to them (*no trust issues, I just want to know myself, what I am buying). Forewarned, forearmed, knowledge is power...etc!
I do 2D/3D graphics using CS5, Painter 11, PP2012, 3dsMax, Vue9, and lots of other mid sized programs. I plan to also buy Z-Brush soon.
Thank you so very much!
