Anyone ever had any experiences with this mother board? anyone have any recommendations other than this while keeping the black/red colors. This is the build i plan to get ---> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jVPynQ <---

i'm gonna pitch this idea, because the NEX psu's arent all that great.

i'm also gonna pitch the idea to get something better than a stock intel cooler in the future. stock will do fine, but once dust gets into it they get kinda noisy.

a single fan water cooler isnt worth it, you're MUCH better off with a big tower cooler.

80+ certification is about efficiency, its not about build quality.

the NEX wont blow up in your face, its just that for a tad more, you can get a much better quality power supply.

theres a few people on the forum that have compiled a list with "tiers" of power supplies, based on sources, and research.

this is my usual source: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/
