5.(Power Supply) Might be delayed a bit As my old one still is working fine but! Thinking of the Corsair CX750 (Modular) or Coolmaster GXII 750w

 

 

6. (CPU Cooler) I Dont really intend to overclock at all when it comes to the cpu however my office is upstairs in the house and its a old house so it will tend to get pretty hot up there so was hoping someone could suggest a Decent Priced Air Cooler I Have a Cooler Master N520 Currently and a HAF 912 Case Fully loaded with fans

 

The CPU GPU And Ram are kinda set in stone already as there bought and already have warrantys so Really Im asking That a good choice of motherboard? any complaints any feedback anything better in that price range that is plenty durable a

 

 

 

Thank you for your time hopefully this post can get some hits before 5 so i have time to do some research

Sabertooths are beasts in reliability and stability, but if you are not overclocking it might be a bit of an overkill. I do not like the price of that 760 which is $10 cheaper on newegg but I do not think that really matters. You could change the sabertooth for another AM3+ motherboard that is not as expensive but still gives you the same reliabilite (like the one OP has above).

 

As to a cheap cooler :

But I think the one you have should do the job.

Looks good to me.  I may have went with a bigger vid card but I am like that.  I also bought a sabertooth board for intel tho... I like the steel backplate and higher end components.  Sure I could have got the same board cheaper but 5 year manufacture warranty seems good to me.

I like the cooler, but he already got the card, sad huh? :( if he got a $100 mobo he could have gotten a nice 770 instead, maybe he can return it?

Diamond 5 in League :)

The question is, what you going to use the computer for?

Wow thanks for replys no i will end up overclocking but for the time being as i have my room upstairs i dont want to put any uneeded stress on the cpu the video card i bought with a 2 year warranty im not a ardcore ggamer but my logic which i have done once now is Keep it strong for 2 years and take it back to reclaim a newer card that has went down in price and i love the Thermal radar that Sabertooth has and as the heat gets a bit dodgey up here it would help alot and it being server grade tested and etc it just sounded like the best option

 

 

Should mention this will be my first ASUS Board..

 

Have tryed Gigabyte and MSI
