yea I want it as a gaming rig mainly but also want to do some band recording on it too, Im pretty sure recording is all about the HDD read and write so any suggestions there? I want it to be really futureproof tho as this is like a one off treat haha. I really do like the look of the crosshair iv :(

WHAT TO DO????!!!!!
 
and will the nvidia card play all the latest games maxed out? and is it easy to overclock on that motherboard. thing is Ive done all my research overclocking looking at amd thinking i was going that route but u might of swayed me haha coz of the recording issue
