that motherboard is uber overkill. You can get the same features for a lot less and put the rest into a CPU and RAM. on top of that, go for a 1155 board for better performance.

Man (or woman)... there is living, then there is self indulgent. You are indulgent there.
Go for a AMD Phenom II x6 1090T and a good asus or gigabyte board. You will have better performance for loads less, leaving you room to buy a lot more kick arse products. Especially on the GPU department, since you are going to game.

can you send me a couple of links on what you would buy for a board and cpu?

 

[wolfeking]

you want top of the line (sata 3 and USB 3?)?

 

[brlandrie]

yes! (your pic if money was not a factor)

Over kill but also an excellent board.

Both are excellent choices, and for less than your original board choice.
