Looks a very nice set up yea. I only can dream of being able to build a computer like that enjoy. If you can post pics of the rig being build (Y).

its only my 2nd build so will be fun lol. is that the best mobo for i7? ppl seem to like the evga mobo aswell.

 

[sh4dy1981]

anyone else able to give their opinion of this build plz?

 

[lynchy6789]

good luck with the build mate. I have yet to build my own is the plan for the next one though. Dont no much on mb but personally always gone for asus. Looking at the other mobos if i had the money id go for the Asus Rampage II Extreme especially if your planning on oc and it come with a pretty decent soundcard
