    LGA 1176 i3 board reccomenditions

    looking for a nice i3 board. i'll drop in an i5 or i7 in the future. i'm thinking H55 only need one PCIe slot. won't be doing any overclocking. cheaper the better.

    Modern Warfare 2 (360 or PS3) $43.95 shipped

    I bit on this and I don't even have a 360 yet; hoping to get one on black Friday. @ hafaznmatt: why do you feel the MP is lacking? I thought they added a lot of things to the MP. ie: multiple attachments, custom killstreaks, etc.

    Picked up the Creative Fatality headset today. Had to have a salesguy find one for me since they were out in the usual spot but had a few on an endcap somewhere. Rebate expires 10/31 so you better hop on it. But even at $20 it's a great deal.
