Hey everyone,
Finally building a new machine for my amazing home lab (its a laptop...) and want to add some VMWare fun into it.
I have been looking up on some build ideas and have concluded on the Asus P8H67-V R3 H67 Socket 1155 motherboard.

Not sure If I'm going for the i5 2400S or the i7 2600. most likely the i5 though.
Also planning 16GB ram but not decided on that part yet.

My main concern was if the onboard sata would be ok on this board. I already assume that the NIC will be useless and will need to get an Intel card in there. but any advice on the MOBO would be helpful.

Thanks
 
About £500 (yea, uk).
I have a couple of sata drives spare. And an intel nic. And possibly a psu from an old am2 system that's still good (can't think of the connectors though)
