[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 759730"] A guy at work I know built a gaming rig the same time I did. He spent over twice as much as I did on his motherboard. His was ASUS, mine was MSI. After building them the benchmarks were nearly identical. But he claimed his had better components and would last longer, but really - it's a motherboard, if it doesn't die during the initial 48 hour burn-in run-time it's probably going to last a decade or more. I've NEVER seen the wisdom in overspending on fancy motherboards as long as the components of what you get are decent, it supports the CPU/RAM you need, maybe some room to grow with expansions.. Then you are fine, put that coin elsewhere (like in the GPU). PS: Go AMD on CPU and Nvidia on GPU. Intel is cancerous. [/QUOTE]
