Good day everyone! I've been around for a few weeks so I'm still a newbie. I'm going to buy the new PC this coming week and here are the specs. I was just wondering if there's a good alternative or same features/functions for the motherboard because the Asus P8H77-V LK is not available. Also I chose that GPU because it has good power management. I'm just worried about the motherboard. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!
