Not a problem, I hope it serves you well :) 


what do you think about http://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/990fx%20extreme3/ its like 35euros cheaper where i live and same chip set
- Northbridge: AMD 990FX
- Southbridge: AMD SB950

Yeh i know that Evo 2.0 offers more stuff to play with but i really cant see the downside.

maybe you can tell me why would you pick M5A99X EVO R2.0 over 990FX Extreme3. I'm just really curious... :D

I high recommend this board: http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=261/ID=18...
supports everything you want, also very cheap (Keep in mind this page is in NZD so it's probably about $120-130 USD)


So far i really love your suggestion, but i still have some time for more motherboards to look @ btw I LOVE THE ''Overview'' on playtech website :)  Ty.
