I willl buy sound card later. Can anybody check the parts to see if their compatible with each other? And tell me if i made the right decision?
I choose the case because it goodlooking and has mobo tray. My goal is to built a gaming machine for me and my bro.

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.

Thanks Praetor for the advice but after reading the review on newegg on the mobo. I heard it was piece of shit???

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.
