thought I'd do a quick Unboxing and overview/Visual tour of the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX motherboard, this will be going in my new ~$1000 personal rig that ill be building in less than a month, hopefully. I know it's better to buy all the parts at once rather than part it out, but im impatient, what can i say :)

I will definitely agree with that, it needs more sata ports though.

yeah, could use 2-4 more, even if they were just sata 3gb/s, for hard drives and such. nice that u get so many sata 6gb/s, though

i guess if you need more you could always get a raid card, those are quite expensive, though :/

im pretty sure ill never fill em all up, ive just got a 1tb drive and an ssd, and thats plenty of storage for me
