Most Favorable Review

Update! newegg is great! Not sure about Benson at asus though.

ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: RMA'd 1st board because it was'nt posting. This is the replacement and it is working fine so far. Runs cool and auto tuning overclock feature is nice. Thanks Newegg for taking care of me!

Cons: Benson at asus replied to my 1st 1 egg review and left his contact info saying he could help me and personally test the board. I emailed him twice and received no response. Appears asus is just giving the appearance of customer service but not acting on it.

Update

EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: EVGA replaced the graphics card promptly and paid for shipping. Thank you. This card performs well, but if you are looking for a card that will play all ultra settings for a while get the 570. It's a little more money for alot more card.

Cons: First one was defective.

Overall Review: I'll be sticking with evga cards since they took care of me.

Good case for $39.99

IN WIN MANA137 Black SEEC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
IN WIN MANA137 Black SEEC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Fairly sturdy design for the price. Has plenty of space for hard drives, and they clip right in. DVD multi's etc. fasten without screws as well. Plenty of space for extra fans. "Front fans clip in". Supports H2O cooling but I don't know who would be doing that in a lower end model like this.

Cons: Not very cool looking as is. Plain black, Unusual shape to front of case in my opinion. The 7 120 mm fans this supports is a little overkill and obviously not the most efficient cooling solution. Although for the price I paid it has better cooling than most. The front audio ports on mine don't work very well, "Or" it could be the connector on my motherboard, don't know 4 sure.

Overall Review: Adding a few blue LED Fans to this setup will make it look much cooler, "Power LED is blue", and perform cooler as well. My 560ti rarely goes over 70 c with it's fan on auto setting. $10 bucks or so for a couple blue led fans, " clip one in the lower front 4 sure", and u have a sufficient and neat looking setup at an affordable price.
