That would be like a CD?

You have the MOBO and CPU switched around. Other than that it's okay. But one problem is that the GPU on the athlon, isn't nearly as powerful as Console graphics.

/rant/ It is a long Blog, but I had to vent and let it out. Sorry for the strong language it kinda just cam out. That's not what 'she' said. Scroll down to read it all :D Have a nice read. I think the US Government fucking sucks when it comes to the WWW, they don't understand fucking shit, just a bunch of power hungry fucking slobs that just want more money. Same goes for the ISP's, they don't appose these laws and want to charge ME, to view a fucking website or get data. The US's national average speed, is hardly enough to handle 5 devices on a network at a time. If you want 45/5, here with a local company it costs $13,000 and month. What's wrong with that number? It's on a copper line. Then look at the good ole England, it's 7.50 pounds a fucking month for 50/5. And that's usually on a copper line. But, we have good old Google. Boasting out with the 'Google Fiber' Internet service. With 2 basic internet packages, For a one-time $300 installation fee, you can get FREE 5/1 internet speeds for life. And for $70/m you can get 1000/1000mbps with the average speed of 835/860. They have the best speed/price ratio in the entire Globe. Just stomping on all ISP's and making them look like garbage. Their 1gbps speeds cost just $0.07 per mbps. I think the US Government should stop being anally gay, Drill out OWN oil, and get out of debt and stop making china a world power. They should PAY Google to get their fiber services all across America, and maybe into other countries. Almost every school in the US doesn't have the bandwidth for more than 150 computers to be using the internet at one point. The internet IS the future of learning, we should be able to learn anything, free-of-charge. Internet is more than just a convenience now, it's a way of life. Most all businesses wouldn't exist without it, it's like water for humans. Without these connection speeds how are we supposed to learn? We can't wait 10 minutes for a page to load, time is money and not everyone has a lot of time. We should be able to use the internet, free-of-charge, and not pay money through the butt-hole in order to get a good connection speed to be productive. It's time for the people to make a change instead of sitting there dumbfounded and make shit happen.

I'm tired and confused, is this good or bad?

You can't really rate how a motherboard performs, but in terms of features. I used that motherboard in an extreme build, and honestly I loved it.

Just it dying, but like Excon said, if it does die you could probably just RMA it for a new one.

They do not compare to something like audiophile headphones, at all.

It should run as smooth as silk

The mobo looks great and has awesome features. I would say that's a good como

Last time I shipped a PC, I removed the GPU, and places that in it's own foam padded box. As for inside the PC I got lots of those packing peanuts and put them inside a static-free bag and made sure it was completley filled with them. If the PC is water cooled, drain the loop to be as safe as possible.

With that kind of Motherboard, get a K series CPU.

I think LTT needs to be on better and faster servers. I mean really, we are loosing features left and right for the sake of performance.

I meant the GPU has 8GB of VRAM, oops
