    Eclipse directed to this ram at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231032 This is 30 dollars more than the G.Skill I was getting,but this is better for overclocking,I'm told

    Memory Choice/ New Build

    PC Building Techniques

    The case comes with 3 120mm's and side venting.Proper cooling should not be an issue,as far as case cooling.I heard this board comes with a oc-ing program to kick it up 10 to 15 %.The stock HSF should be ok,but I am considering a 3rd party hsf.This is supposed to be a stable board,not a big...
