Upgrade or say forget it and build....

IMO, if you're not going to be using the onboard sound anyways, then the problem with the jacks becomes irrelevant. I still recommend the ASUS mobo.
As for Nirkon's recommendation, it's cheap RAM but the Corsair kit at ZipZoomFly is the same price after rebate and comes with free shipping, which the OCZ kit at Newegg lacks.

Will keep that in mind. I really appreciate all of you guys help on doing this and look forward to my first build. I have to make some adjustments but I will probably repost here

Thanks and much love

Since our last brief follow up, some of my graphic peers have been telling me to look into the MacG5. I checked the specs of it and it's amazing! but very expensive. Is is possible to build something like it or close to it? I know that when dealing with a mac, having to rebuy programs that are compatible can be a headache. I haven't been able to get any parts yets cause some things threw a wrench in my plans so....but it's coming!

Are you sure you mean G5, and not MacPro?

Intel based macs(all current macs) are basically PCs in fancy casings that run mac os x, so technically you could "build a mac." However, mac os can only be installed (legally) on mac branded hardware. If you want to use mac os legally, you have to buy a mac.
