I hope you love it. I made my pre-built basically doing the same thing you did. Got a Fractal case (in my case -badumtsss- it's an R3 Black Pearl), slowly changed a lot of the stuff and also, of course, the motherboard.

I think the worst thing about my old Pegatron 2AB5 board was the boottime, layout and the fact the stock cooler's backplate was stuck to it.

Speaking about the cooler, i had to order one because the backplate on the Foxconn 2ABF wasn't removable.
