A modular power supply is well worth the investment.

That video card won't work with the mobo you are thinking about. You need faster PCI-E slots.

Check out this one:

I can think of three reasons:

• Budget board, get what you pay for
• It is ugly
• I am an elitist snob

Yeah. Because more money ALWAYS = Better parts *cough* apple *cough*

And ugly? It sits inside of your case. Like its ever going to be seem.

And. I'll give you that one.

They never really where worth it With an I7, DDR3 is required. And you want like 1600 speed, but other then that, nothing else really matters. You'll bottleneck on your HD, and your cpu/memory will just wait forever

As far as memory goes. Aim for a 7-7-7-21 timing on CAS Latency.
