ok thanks.... You really seem to like building computers.... every time I see someone asking about what parts to get or whatever you just go and give them a whole computer with links to see the item and everything... It's cool that you take the time to do that..:good:

As far as i know, in this feature range that would be the only board that has watercooling barbs/waterblock already on it. Although if you dont care about watercooling that as well, another great mobo:

I was looking on gigabytes website and that really is a good motherboard.... doesn't say if the PCIe work at 16x 16x 8x or 16x 8x 8x or all 8x

also what do you think if i got a ssd drive? Heard they are faster than regular hard drives...

Could drop one of the western digital 1TB drives and go for one of these as a boot drive:

But imo, just like the extra 6gb of memory, wait it out a year or so, then upgrade to an ssd. Those caviar blacks are fast as you really need at the moment. In a years time you will be able to get a faster drive with probably twice the capacity for the same price.
 
If it's not necessary I won't get it just a thought though... i'm excited just thinking about it when all the parts are here and i get it up and running...=]

Yeah, new builds are always like that. Dont forget to grab a tube of thermal paste though also, Tuniq TX-2, Arctic Cooling MX-2 and OCZ freeze are pretty much the best, just grab whichever has free shipping on newegg at the moment(cuz they will charge $6 shipping on a $5 tube of thermal paste)

=3,700th Post=
 
i'll have to find a guide on how to install the thermal paste properly.. I had my friend do it on my current computer because since it was my first time i didn't want to screw up lol.... I don't want anyone's help this time just me ( hopefully i don't screw up though)

If you go with the watercooling kit, id suggest having a friend help you hook it up if you havent done it before. Best route for that imo(for future use) would be Pump->CPU Block->Mobo block->Radiator->reservoir->pump again. Thermal paste isnt hard to put on, just put a small drop on the middle of the cpu(about the size of a grain of rice) and put the heatsink on, it will spread itself.

i'll be suer to recheck 2-3 times to make sure it doesn't leak all over the place..

Yeah, a good trick to getting them on the barbs is heating the ends in hot water to expand them a little bit before putting them on. Another thing though, instead of using the included hydrx additive, just add in a piece of silver as biocide and run pure distilled water(will have better temps than without an additive, and water doesnt break down over time like additives do):

total comes out to alittle over 4k.... I though it might jump to 5 after the hdtv but newegg never keeps from amazing me with thier prices....
