I decided to go with this mobo because newegg has a combo deal with this and the 720 that takes $45 from the total cost making the board cost about 95 dollars before tax and shipping. I plan on going down to microcenter tomorrow because they have the antec 300 for $44.99 which is a hell of a price imo. Thanks for the well wishes and I hope you have fun as well

This will mainly be used for word processing, watching movies, listening to music, video encoding, and gaming. The reason for the onboard video is because I intend to wait till the end of the month to pick up an hd4890 or perhaps a pair of the 4770s depending on how the performance reviews shake out. I've pretty much made up my mind on everything except for which cpu cooler to go with. The cost of the scythe and some decent tim work out to be about 12 dollars less than the noctua (which comes with pretty decent tim) so the price difference is negligible in my eyes. Well, that pretty much sums it up. What do you guys think? |
