After 6 days of forum reading, getting help from you guys i finally chose all the parts and hope this to be a great system. I built it base don a balance of High end gaming experience/future proofing the best i could. Plan on keeping this for quite a while so the quad core may be slower than a e8500, but itl be worth it in the long run i hope.
