[FONT=Calibri]This is my first build… decided to spend between $1,000 and $1,400. Tell me what you think or if you might see something that won’t work with everything else. I've read a ton of reviews and such and this is what I've come up with. I do know about the BIOS issues with the mobo, but figured that the other reviews I’ve read have said that once flashed, it’s a pretty solid board. Thanks! And don’t be nice… I really need to know what’s going to happen when I plug this in and play EVE on full settings or work on CS5.5 etc…[/FONT]
