I think I have decided to build an I5, but looking for what parts people have used and any comments good or bad.
 
I haven't built one, but I can say that most of the LGA 1156 motherboards have gotten great reviews. What's your budget? And do you need mouse/keyboard/monitor?
 
another suggestion. this here totals $855 + shipping, so you still have some room for other things you might want to get. i dont know if you also need an OS also; if you don't then you can get a good aftermarket cpu cooler, and/or a nice keybaord + mouse. this build is crossfire ready also, incase you want to add a second card later on.

I'd go with this build, since neither had an OS included, and this is the cheaper of them.
 
Agreed. Haven't had the time to look up for combos. I don't want to crossfire, I'm only a occasional gamer, that's why I bought the Asus board.
 
I would go with the 1st build (Asus mobo) over the Gigabyte everyday of the week.
Muffin Man Luv's to spend other peoples money :D
 
hey thats fine if you prefer asus, but its not like gigabyte is a crap brand or anything nor is that mobo bad. how do i luv spending other peoples money? the build i listed includes an hdd and case which the asus build doesnt have included, and it is $50 cheaper.
