I would advise you to get a cheaper motherboard and save some money, because a motherboard doesn't make your PC go any faster. If you really want to spend insane amounts of money on a motherboard, ROG is the way to go. this one is the one you would want for 400USD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132265&cm_re=ROG_MAXIMUS_VIII_formula-_-13-132-265-_-Product

Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

He is saying that you posted this under the troubleshooting category, while you really didn't need any troubleshooting. he moved your post to the Motherboards & Memory category because it fits more there

Get the cheaper one (the deluxe), it really doesn't matter for gaming, so the cheapest one that you can get with all the features you want is the best one for you

Case is a matter of preference... I like the fractal define s without a window. some one else may tell you otherwise.

As for coolers you looking at air or liquid (custom or all in ones)

Custom water cooling is difficult but All in ones are decent but some air coolers out perform them.... Some one would have to advise you on an air cooler. I only know of the Hyper 212 evo
