I like it. The msrp is a little steep though. Get in under $100 and I'd buy it.
Also they should get some better color options... Gold only works in asian markets!!!

Don't like how close the socket is from the pcie and dimms.... Fewer heatsink options. Guess thats a sacrifice with most itx boards :( Everything else looks great though.
I've noticed that problem before while using hdmi, never did figure out exactly what was going on. :confused:
Switching to dvi, display port, or vga fixed the problem. ;)
I don't see anything wrong with it....
It should be much cheaper.
Personal preference I guess. :confused:
Maybe someone with a 2560x1440 monitor can comment on if it's worth the extra money.
Sweet find. :)
Nvidia vs AMD doesn't matter very much. Either way you'll be ok. Though for BF4 specifically you might be better with AMD because of mantle support. I personally have a 7870xt (similar speed as regular 7870 & 270x) and it plays BF4 smooth on high settings. Don't know much about...
Manually setting high speed sticks can be a pain in the a$s. I'm guessing Intel profiles are not available for use with competitors products??? Or maybe they ask insane licensing fees? Either way it would be nice if all boards had Intel & AMD profiles.
At that resolution, I'd guess a 270x would be very smooth at medium settings in most new games. I play at 1920x1080 with ultra high settings in BF4. I don't play MMOs so take that with a grain of salt.
For $75 used you will find stuff like this:
7750/7770/5850/5870/6850/6870 550/560/650
Keep in mind that 3GB ram is a bit of a bottleneck in newer games. If you decide to add more (I would) be sure to check if your Windows 7 copy is the 64-bit version. Since the 32-bit version can not use over...
Odds of finding a 7870xt for a fair price are low.... If you want better performance your probably gonna need to change cards. I think your card can crossfire with all tahiti cards, but it won't matter since they will all be over-priced. :(
290 or jump ship for the green team
I love this case! Perfect layout, finally gets rid of the optical drive. The hinge idea is very clever. It will make working on this case much easier. When can I buy some of them?!
You usually don't want to exceed 80% of the units rated capacity. Anything from a reputable brand (Antec/Seasonic/Corsair/Silverstone/Fsp/Silverpower) in the 500-600 watts range would be capable of powering that rig. My personal preference is Seasonic, but any of the brands I mentioned are very...
The AM3+ feature set is getting old, but all it needs to freshen up is a new chipset. (AMD, I hope your listening!) FM2 is impressive because the A55/75/85 chipsets are impressive.
