Mote details about the mobo I plan to use.
Asus H61 M-A/BR, with two DDR3 memory slots, one PCI Express 3.0 and two PCVI Express 2.0 slots, four SATA 3.0 sockets, Realtek Gigabity LAN, HDMI video output.
Intel i7-3770 CPU
16GB DDR3 memory. These were from my desktop, which were replaced with 32GB cards.
As mentioned above, I will follow the advice to buy an Intel Network board, to replace the Realtek.
From what I know, I do not need to use a monitor on that computer continuously, so I would use an LG LCD monitor I have as backup.
Besides the Intel LAN board, I also plan to buy a small desktop case, as the mobo is micro-ATX.
