Was just curious as to how good this would be. I'm looking to play most call of duties, BF3, Skyrim, Gary's mod, and most other popular games.

Swap board out for MSI Z77 G43.

PSU to a 550w Rosewill HIVE.

1TB Samsung / Seagate 7000 RPM.

IPS monitor over TN.

Low profile RAM over that.

Would this motherboard not be a better deal? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

That's a fine board but it won't allow overclocking so there is no need for a unlocked CPU. You can save a few bucks and buy a locked I5.

Vh236h instead of the monitor you have. It was the MLG monitor a while back at the PC gaming tournaments. I would get low profile ram and a hyper 212 to keep your cpu cool as it is quieter than stock. You could go with an enermax ets t40 as It is a little better on the benchmarks of cpu temperature,etc.

I would also reccommend the g45 because it is a little more money but it has more features.

Good Luck
