    Ninja Gaming rig! Need a MOBO

    Sup guys, my friend pieced together a PC about 3 months ago but then decided not to pull the trigger. I'm currently in the market for a gaming rig and he had the pieces still bookmarked so I asked him for the links. I wanna be able to play games like Guild Wars 2 and anything else coming out afterwards on full blast.

    Unfortunately the MOBO he had listed is now discontinued.. I'm trying to keep the PC under $1000 and with the pieces I have listed below, it leaves me approx $130 on the MOBO.

    I'm willing to budget and or upgrade on other pieces if you guys feel I need to spend more $$ on a quality mobo. Also, still a noob at building PC's so any help is greatly appreciated guys. <333

    You should change your GPU to a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127663 Gives more kick for the couple dollars more also consumes less power and runs cooler.

    For the MoBo

    Ouh also if you feel like you should change the i5 to a never gen 3570k for YET some extra kick! Wont cost much more!
