Best P45 motherboard on the market

Pros: Absolutely THE best motherboard I have owned. Tons of features in the BIOS, Very stable, overclocking ability is outstanding. Looks pretty sweet too. The on board sound is great too.
Cons: The only con is other people don't buy this motherboard =[
Overall Review: Paired this with a Q9550 C1 and got it up to 3.8ghz on a Xigmatek.
Best cooler for the money

Pros: Awesome cooler for what your paying. I have my q9550 C1 overclocked to 4ghz (1.4v) and it only gets to 60C on load and 35C idle. I have a friend who has watercooling and his temps are not as good as mine.
Cons: Not the best in the world but who cares?
Overall Review: Use Arctic Silver 5 Gigabyte UD3P P45 Q9550 C1 @ 4.0 ghz 2 x 2gb G. Skill DDR2 1000 Samsung f1 500gb Antec 900 Raidmax 730w PSU EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 55nm ^beast system :)
Good for my Epix

Pros: Bought this to replace my Kingston 2gb class 4 and the difference is very noticeable. Popped it in my Samsung Epix and it worked perfectly. Write speeds are about 9MB/s which is above class 6 standards.
Cons: Only formatted to 7.45 Gigs. Not the fastest class 6 out there, but it gets the job done well enough for my needs.
Overall Review: When are the 1TB SD cards coming out? :)
Awesome RAM

Pros: Bought this RAM a couple months ago to upgrade from a DDR2 800 2gb kit. The difference from 2 gigs to 4 gigs and a 200mhz boost is insane. All my games run smoother, programs open faster and overall using the computer is a more enjoyable experience. Highly Recommended!
Cons: Pricey for some.
Overall Review: I've heard this RAM overclocks great but I haven't had a chance to try it.
Good, not great, Graphics Card from AMD

Pros: Very fast. Maxed out all the games I threw at it and also looks pretty sexy :). I consider this a positive: the fan is so loud it sounds like a blow dryer set on cool. With the fan maxed out like that it runs VERY cool.
Cons: Expensive and runs very hot on the stock fan setting. Also this card can't overclock very well at all. I only got it to a 50mhz overclock and my previous card (8800gts) went over 150.
Overall Review: Decent card overall but I knocked off an egg for the price and limited overclocking ability. I did send this card back after 30 days because it wasn't worth it for the money IMO. I think a GTX 260 is a better choice. Right now I have a 4670 because of the price/performance ratio but I really am missing the speed of this card. Looking into a GTX 280 next when the price goes under $250. Also keep your eye on the 4890 coming out soon!
