Seems very solid

• The motherboard is a fantastic overclocker and has a good warranty behind it.

What GFX do you have or are thinking of? or will the HD4000 from the CPU be sufficient for your needs?

looks good to me

very similar to mine, just make sure you update the bios on that board before u do anything, or you will have problems.
