GIGABYTE GA-P61-USB3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Has all the essentials. Perfect for a nice little gaming rig. Cheap.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Set up (idles at 47 watts!): ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Seagate Barracuda ST3500413AS G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ Intel Core i5-2500 Antec EarthWatts 500 watts GTX 460

Intel Core i5-2500 - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500

Pros: Fast. Good for games. Low power consumption (system runs at 47 watts during idle). Easy to install. Scored 7.5 on Windows 7 WEI. I do not overclock so did not need the k series.

Cons: Fan not as quiet as my stock e8400, but still quiet enough. Not much difference from my e8400 during normal use (internet etc.), which was already fast.
