    Yeah the GT 630 is a bit of a waste considering its price but anyway it seems everything was well under budget so good work!

    Do we get potato chips and beer too...?

    ASRock started off as a pretty low end and 'junk' motherboard maker. But about 5 or 6 years ago they started turning out some pretty solid and inexpensive motherboards. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an ASRock board for my next build.

    Same here. The H77M won me over. :) The layout was simple and straightforward -- just the way I like it. I barely had to consult the manual -- and I'm a noob! Good features, too, considering the price.

    Been taking a look at ASRock website and they do have some great, competitive offerings out there .

    I ordered my HTPC and I went with ASRock. However, I realised last minute that the H77M was a mATX form factor, so I upgraded to the ATX-sized Pro version, or whatever. Great price, and tons of features!

    If you are wondering that you want to lessen the heat in the fans then you should try to use liquid cooling. I will give you a better performance in your hardwares.
