I'm welcome to all suggestions. I'm not sure if that will be the final Processor or Video card reference the price, but if those change it won't mess up the system. I'm more worried about the Motherboard and Ram, do I have enough PCI slots for sound card, video card, network card? Will I have enough for SLI later on? Thanks! This is my very first build so if I need thermal paste or any tools as well please let me know. Thanks again!
