Hi liljt

This setup looks fine, although what was the primary use of the computer? Was it for gaming? As if it was i would suggest if you are spending that amount with those parts get a better motherboard as that one only takes 2 DIMM's and up to 8GB max RAM, also the crossfire/sli states 16x and 4x so if you get crossfire/sli going your going to have a few drawbacks from only having 4x.

Apart from that it looks great.
 
Looks OK to me overall
Mobo - Only have 2 ram slot, could be difficult if you want to upgrade in future.
May be P7H55-M PRO instead?
HDD - WD Caviar Black is better.
 
okay thank guys. alright but i only have up to
550$ and it for gaming and work. wht else will be a
great M.B and H.D?
 
also remember im from Mi detroit/madison Heights (microcenter.com)
if you looking up part to help me
 
with crossfire/sli, you want a good speed in both slots. on that board, when crossfire is enabled, the first card will run at x16, but the other card will only run at x4, a serious bottleneck.
 
if you don't know what sli or crossfire means:
its running two graphics cards at once for better performance
 
For SLI or Crossfire(same thing, different brands), you want both slots to run at x8 at the very minimum, though having both at x16 is the best way to go.

I'm looking on microcenter.com and i can't see a motherboard suitable without going over your price range. What i would suggest is shopping on a different website for motherboards or deciding whether or not you plan on using crossfire/sli in the future(as you have never heard of it i would imagine you won't be using it for a while)if your not then just concentrate on getting a mobo with 4 DIMM's, pci-e x16, DDR3, can take Intel i7 etc. That should hold you in good stead for now until you want to upgrade it in the future.

What graphics card was you planning on using?

What you want ideally is a motherboard that can handle 16x crossfire/sli for BOTH pci-e slots when two graphics cards are in play and can have 4 DIMM's.

PS. The motherboard should be able to take the Intel i7 and ddr3 ram, lol

Good luck
