That Gigabyte board is a Z77 chipset so you can overclock better (if you want)

3 year UK based RMA/warranty

Has WiFi+WiDi

Just realised my first problem I need a board with at least 2 Sata 3 connectors and 4 Sata 2.

Anyone got any suggestions for a board with that?

You may want to look at a modular PSU, will make the job of cable tidying a lot easier in that small case.

Just updated Mobo and thanks for the advice so far guys.

The Gigabyte board only has four SATA ports (2XIII and 2XII) hopefully thats enough for you.

Theres nothing else to suggest then, its only five parts.

You've changed the board and I hope the PSU to the modular version, the RAM is on offer today only, so theres nothing left but to order.

I am about to order but need help. I need to change PSU I need a PSU to be able to feed upto 5 sata hdds and 1 dvd drive/blue ray drive and also needs to be modular

Do you really need 3570k for such thing? Maybe g840 or 5600-5800 AMD trinity would do?
