digip Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 My only suggestion is to check the mobo and see if there is a better option/brand. From reading reviews on that specific board, lots of DOA's and manufacturing defects common among different buyers, like bent pins and damaged sockets for the CPU. From the reviews, it seems an RMA on that won't be covered if they decide to say it was you who damaged it, but multiple people have had the same manufacturing defects for the same board, so we know its not 100% user error upon installations.

Infiltrator Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 If you have the money go with an SSD, reason being you will get more performance out of your box. Plus buy x1 1TB HDD for backup as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
