I dont need a case, sorry should have stated, and ide like to stay away from Gigabyte, know too many people with too many problems with them, plus am a major ASUS fan

Looks like a good spec the one above, you should be able to run UT3 very good with that! Gigabyte boards are fine as far as I know. I'm much happier with this board then my previous Asus A8N-SLI (which never really let me down).

 

[SteelerRob]

may move down to 2GB if you can convince me

No, the above spec looks great, go for it.

What probs did they have with Gigabyte?
Ive found their boards to be brilliant, and their website most helpful (when it works) lol
