New Member
First off, I am going to be building a new PC within the next few weeks (maybe sooner). I don't have a price limit, but I would like to keep it under $2000. The rig is mainly going to be used for gaming, occasional video editing, web browsing, etc. For the most part, I have my components picked out, but I'm still struggling to find a mobo that is reliable and can SLI. Overclocking isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice to have a board that's easy to OC with. Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions you may have (about the mobo or any other components).
