may i be the first to recommend:
Building Computers 101
also this processor instead of the san diego
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103547
also SLI motherboards are just a moneyhole to begin with, and low end asus sli boards are a no go as most people would agree with me. look into different motherboard brands, i have to go to bed.

i wouldnt trust those reviews as most of those people dont know what the are oing, also EVGA is a decent brand i dont think they would make a piece of crap motherboard, but its worth looking into.
