Sounds like it will be a good one...Thanks for buying an Intel Processor. I work in an Intel Fab making chips, so your purchase helps keep me employed

Looks like it will be a nice rig. Plenty of room for upgrades to drain your paychecks for a while.

You are making me and my gear feel old! The last time a bought a system board Nvidia didn't have an Intel chipset!
