You mean 4x RAM slots wink.gif
There's that, and the second one just looks better. I wish Gigabyte didn't have to use that cheap light blue on dark blue colour scheme though... looks so lame.

I actually liked it, the shiny blue looks really nice. Though I prefer the black of the higher end boards. thumb.gif

So, in summary:
i3-2120 Sandy Bridge 3.30GHz CPU - $141
GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H LGA 1155 - $118
G.SKILL Value Series 4GB 1333MHz - $40
Crucial M4 128GB SATA3 SSD - $150
WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM - $110
Case - $89
PowerColor HD 7870 - $349

selling my current card: -$145

Total: $852 NZD

And I will have it up and running by next week probably - I'm just gonna get the CPU, mobo and RAM and run those in my current case until I can afford an SSD/HDD/case, new GPU will be the last thing on my list.
