Congratulations and Merry Christmas.
You can save yourself some time and heartache by hooking everything up and benchtesting it outside of the case.
That way you'll know that your setup is working before you go to all the trouble of installing and routing all the wires.

How do you know that it "fricken rocks" if you don't have it hooked up?

Merry Christmas, Jay.

There are two reasons I haven't responded to your motherboard topic.

Firstly, I can't tell what it is you want to end up with.
Also it becomes tiresome trying to reconcile the desire to have max performance without an adequate budget. Just putting in a new/different board isn't going to make that big a difference- in a few months you'll be back to wanting an upgrade. Why not save your money and make a better and more lasting change when you can afford it rather than compromise so much now?
Secondly, over the past few days there have been a ton of threads started which all ask the same question "Which ( fill in the blank) should I get?"
In certain cases ( like bigdawg) he changes his mind every twenty minutes, so what's the point of making a recommendation?

Sounds like a plan.
Just be prepared to live with whatever choice you make and realize that hardware lust never abates...chances are good that you will never have the system that you want so learn to love the hardware collection that you have.
