the sabertooth hides most of the board.. thats why noobs love it, it looks simple.

 

rog looks bad ass

 

look for Z and K in the names of the parts you buy and youre golden

 

 

if you actually pay for your own stuff, youll find a regular asus or gigabyte board will do the exact same job just as well.

I'm on part picker right now going to post the link in a min

Use the BBCode Markup, it's easier and faster since it shows the parts immediately for us to see.

| CPU: An abacus | Motherboard: Tin foil | RAM: 2 Popsicle sticks | GPU: Virtual Boy | Case: Cardboard box | Storage: Cardboard | PSU: 3... Er... Make that 2 hamsters | Display(s): Broken glass | Cooling: Brawndo | Keyboard: More cardboard | Mouse: Jerry | Sound: 2 Cans of SpaghettiO's |
