K, so I was able to get an Asus Sabertooth Z77 motherboard for $140. It is a RMA re-certified board. Original price was $250, then because it was an RMA re-certified was lowered to $200, then they had a 30% off all clearance items. I jumped on it, can't pass up a deal like this. Anyways I am going to start a new build with this board. Here is what I've got so far and what I plan on getting. Let me know what your thoughts are. I'm going to be buying the parts over the next 4-6 months or so as the budget allows. First thing will be the CPU/RAM.....
