I have been using Asus board for the last 5 years. All of them are still in use in one computer or other at home and in my store. I have a total of 10 computers.

I believe this would be the ASUS equivalent. After your feedback and looking at this one I may get it. I like the fan speed controller that's already built in.Originally posted by Apache Warrior View Post

Ok, I think I have made final selections. I'd appreciate if you guys who build computers more often than me to look at this and tell me what you think.
I picked a compatible heat sink right? I plan to OC so I figured I'd just get the better heat sink now. The SSD is a present to myself, hehe.
Case: Cooler Master Storm
PSU: Cooler Master GX

Have you thought about water cooling for your CPU? I started out with the Corsair H50, still being used, and now have the H100 on my Main Computer.

+1 the all-in-one water cooling solutions are great. I have a Corsair H70 I believe.Originally posted by Apache Warrior View Post[url=http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator][img]http://sigs.enjin.com/sig-bf3/1fad512dc784c11c.png[/img][/url]Comment

I did consider water cooling, but I don't OC to the extreme and have never had a need for one.
I pressed the purchase button this morning

Yeah, I was going to say no need for liquid cooling if you aren't going to overclock. I spent lots of cash on my GPUs and CPU (H100) and I never overclocked them. They do keep my GPU and CPU at ambient temp.
16GBs of RAM? My next build I'm gonna have to get more...Comment

I like them for the cooling and for the quietness, no fan.

If you are getting a 3570K, OCing the part is simple. Just go into setup and change the multiplier. Using WC will give you a little more leeway. And like Apache said it is quieter, although most of the sound coming from my system comes from the GPU fan when it jumps to 100%.[url=http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator][img]http://sigs.enjin.com/sig-bf3/1fad512dc784c11c.png[/img][/url]Comment
